losing things.

So.  I bought this book exactly two weeks ago, after I went to see The Lake House.  A character was reading it in the movie, so I decided to buy myself a copy.  It was Persuasion by Jane Austen.  I fork over $6 plus tax for a nice, larger size softcover edition of this book. 

The book laid on the coffee table a couple of days, then I moved some books around, made room on the shelf, and I know that I put it next to Gone With The Wind.  I got to thinking last week, when the kids were gone to their dad’s…that I hadn’t seen the book.  I go look on the shelf and poof…it’s gone.

I took books off the shelf, looked back behind them, looked on every shelf that I have a book on, under the couch, easy chair, in the cushions…nada.  This book has disappeared.  My nephew has been coming over some and none of the kids have seen it or noticed it.

It’s driving me nuts.  So I ended up buying a smaller, cheaper copy of it to replace the old one because I apparently bought the last, larger softcover edition in town. 

To make it up to myself, I bought Anderson Cooper’s new book.  Everyone deserves a treat every once in a while.

So it is the annual release day for the next Stephanie Plum book by Janet Evanovich.  Here is what I have found out about costs so far:

Hasting’s $16.17

Books A Million $15.63 club price

Sam’s Club $16.16

Barnes & Noble $16.97 member price

Amazon.com (if you want to wait) $16.17

Walmart $13.67 yay!

Walk don’t run to the store and get your copy.  These books are great and if you’ve never read them, this is the summer to start!  Hilarious books.  You would have 12 in a row to read before you have to wait for one a year.  Oh, and there’s a Christmas one, also.

Happy reading.
