Oh my husband and my mom ban me from buying books every year around this time because they begin their Christmas shopping. However, I snuck off on Saturday and bought two books that I know weren't on my shopping lists.

There are currently sitting under my car seats awaiting a time when my hubby won't be around. Bad Brenna...

Don't worry, you're not the only one who smuggles books into the house, or has them sent to her workplace

I've also had to indulge in book-buying subterfuge from time to time.
In a previous job, the colleague I shared an office with knew me well and would inspect my bags when I came back from lunch. I would initially put my book purchases inside a different bag, but she soon got wise to that!
It was all done in good humour, of course.

Why don't you hop a flight to Seattle and come on over to the dark side?

No, mean would be if I told you what we found just laying around there. Angelique books. Gellis' Roselynde series. HTF Jean Plaidys. Thomas Costain. A whole shelf dedicated to plantation books including the Windhaven series.

All that and free parking too

It is way cool. I need to go back, but there's two FOL sales coming up. Speaking of which, one is in Seattle. Can you handle getting part way on a weekend?
