What did you buy at Fictionwise and BoB's Thanksgiving Sale?

I just realised that the combination of Fictionwise's earlier Wishlist sale and the current Black Friday / Thanksgiving sale pushed a lot of books I was holding off buying as too expensive down enough that I could not resist.

BooksonBoard's matching sale was icing on the cake as a couple of books I wanted were even more cheaper there, even after taking into account Micropay, etc.

So I ended up blowing my budget AGAIN (Curses )

So I though I'll share the results of my Binge with you all and ask you what you got.

Fictionwise:

10.19 - 1 * The Machine That Changed the World: The Story of Lean
Production--Toyota's Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars That is
Revolutionizing World Industry by James P. Womack

10.19 - 1 * Star Trek: I'm Working on That: A Trek from Science
Fiction to Science Fact by William Shatner & Chip Walter

13.56 - 1 * Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher
Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio Kaku

22.10 - 1 * The Physics of Superheroes by James Kakalios

12.25 - 1 * The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

11.56 - 1 * Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism
by Robert Pape

13.00 - 1 * Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent
Video Games and What Parents Can Do by Lawrence Kutner

9.36 - 1 * Don't Get Too Comfortable by
David Rakoff

10.84 - 1 * The Flying Book: Everything You Ever Wondered about Flying
on Airplanes by David Blatner
-----
113.05 - Total (Ouch)

62.19 - *Rebate


BooksonBoard:

Before the Dawn by Nicholas Wade $12.68

Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku $16.07


Total: $28.18

Rewards: $2.31


So altogether a total hit of $ 141.68 out of Pocket.

Still it did give me $ 64.6 in Micropay and Reward Dollors to spend in the future, so not so bad.

The irritating part was that I bought over a $150 in Micropay the week before and could't use it for the sale.

That'll teach me to plan in advance.
