Make September 7th National Buy a Book Day!
I found out about this idea through a link a friend shared on Facebook. With both Borders and Barnes & Noble having financial problems, readers and writers need to support bookstores. What better way to do so than by buying more books? I have at least twenty books on my to-read list, but there are still certain titles calling my name. The main problem will be waiting until September 7th to buy the book I have in mind: Rift in the Sky by Julie E. Czerneda. (Ironic I'm linking to Amazon, isn't it?) Please join me in buying a new book from a bookstore on September 7--and if you can help spread this idea through your blog, Facebook, or Twitter account, even better!

I just got in 7 paperbacks from Amazon, six fantasies and one historical fiction. It makes me thrilled and sad at the same time. Thrilled because I love, love, love books, and sad because I never get to read enough.
I know what you mean about books, Ted; I don't think I'll ever finish reading the ones I have, yet I still buy more. But the person who originally suggested this idea believes we should support brick and mortar bookstores. Perhaps you could buy a book for someone else.
I can't do the brick and mortar store while I am living on the border with Iran...sadly!
I didn't realize that, Ted. I guess this means I have to buy two books now. What a shame. ;)
