I went to B&N this weekend and was shock that most romance paperbacks have gone up to $8.99 when they use to be $6.99 to $7.99 a book.

(Talk about sticker shock)
I buy mostly online through ebay, individual merchants or Amazon because I don't get into town much so I walked out empty handed saying forget it I'll buy the ebook version instead. I then went to K-Mart and bought 4 paperbacks for $3.47 a piece. Gotta love stores like K-Mart or Wal-Mart, Local Supermarket that always 20 to 35% off. Although limited availability due to living in a small town but I get happy when I find something I want there.

I bought 4 ebooks last week I probably buy an average of 2 to 4 ebooks a week and maybe 1 paperback. I admit I'm addicted to books. I read about 5 books at time. I have no life!
