Why I'm a big fat dork.

So, today, I ordered some books off the Barnes & Noble website because I've never gotten a package and I really wanted to receive one since it seems like it would be the best feeling to get a big ole' box on your front doorstep.

But...that's not why I'm a dork. Well, it's part of the reason. Today, I actually drove myself to Barnes & Noble to buy a giftcard just so that I could buy the books online...because I don't have a credit card.

But, I'm super excited to get them!! I felt like $60 was a lot to pay, but I did get 8 books. Plus, Paper Towns was $5 and hardcover. hehe

Given your reading selection there, you should check out 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk, and Crush by Richard Siken.

The first two were some of my favorites back in high school.

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher

^ I third that one. Also check out Hate List by Jennifer Brown. It's literally one of my favorite. books. ever.
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

So many books. *__*

'Looking for Alaska' is amazing. And I liked 'Notes on the Refridgerator Door' but I felt a bit cheated by it because it's about a quarter as long as it looks, because there's just one note per page.

Papaer Towns was great too. I finished reading it a couple days ago but forgot to mention. :)

Eeeeeeee! I love ordering books. It's the best feeling ever when that package arrives and you have a huge stack of shiny objects to read.
I make my own policies.

I've got Perks of Being a Wallflower on hold at the library! :D
There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people:
psychopaths and mystery writers.

I'm the kind that pays better.

This looks like a really bad episode of Green Acres.
