Greatest Week Ever

This has been a great week.  Sunday I was going through paperwork I let stack up.  Having extra bedrooms allows me to have a huge mess in the bookroom!  Not good.  I started sorting papers, throwing away tons of advertisement.  All of a sudden I see a little card from Barnes & Noble.  I think, this must be a coupon.  Probably expired.  Open it up, $10.00 gift card.  Because I am such a loyal customer.  Which is funny, I do not spend half what I used to before I started using Kindle.  I decided I want to buy book club books from now on.  I do not feel like I absorb as much on the Kindle.  Plus I like to be able to touch books and refer back to things when I discuss a book.  I have only made it to one meeting of the book club in my village.  Basketball has been keeping me away.  I think I will be able to make the January meeting.  So I ordered that book.  That alone makes my week great.
Yesterday Hubby brings me the mail.  This time it was a $25 gift card.  I have a Barnes & Noble credit card.  When I spend so much, I get a gift card.  I use the card quite a bit for items I buy for Coco's.  There is also a special this week, if you purchase $20, shipping is free.  Thank you I will buy three books and be very happy!!!! 
One book should be delivered today.  Three more next week.  There are many reasons I love my Kindle.  That said, Kindle can never replace a real book.  Holding the book.  Feeling the book.  Smelling the book.  If you are not a reader, you will not get it.  I know what I will be doing when I get home tonight!!
That, my friends, makes for a very, very great week!!
