Borders. Going out of business. Sad.
The upside to this situation? Everything was on sale!
I browsed the cookbook display for a good twenty minutes, wanting to buy about ten of them. Eventually though, I settled on just one that I've been wanting for awhile:
I have a slight blog crush on the Pioneer Woman and am kind of obsessed with how good her recipes always look. Plus, I need to start building my own cookbook cabinet...
Despite the discounted books, I'm downright pissed that Borders is going out of business. I get that everything is done via technology now, from buying real books to downloading digital ones, but the fact that in twenty years you might not be able to physically go into a store and buy a book just makes me disappointed. As a kid, I was the weirdo that always begged my parents to take me to the bookstore. I could spend hours in them. To think they might eventually disappear is so sad...plus, as much as I love my computer and gadgets, there's something to be said for sitting down with a book and reading. No buttons, no screen, just paper.
Okay, rant over. I'm going to start hoarding all the books I can find lest my future children only ever use Kindles in school.
I'm spending the rest of the evening baking cookies for the recent auction and giveaway winners.
"Do not eat" signs are necessary in this house. Clearly, I got my sweet tooth from my parents...
Do you have a Kindle/Nook? What do you prefer- reading on a screen or on paper?
