I cracked on Thursday and placed an Amazon order for 5, count ’em, FIVE new children’s books by Sandra Boynton.
I am really, really tired of reading The Very Busy Spider, Goodnight Moon and dear Dog anything but Goodnight Butterflies. By gum, there WILL be new books in this house.
I love Sandra Boynton books. We have Dinos to Go and the Philadelphia Chickens cd book.
Soon, we will be getting something called Moo Baa La La La and something else called BUT NOT THE HIPPOPOTAMUS amongst others. I am very excited, and have been checking UPS tracking twice a day. I kind of wish I hadn’t done the Free Super Saver Shipping, but perhaps they won’t be long, having shipped from Kentucky.
Moo Baa La La La!
I could have forwarded along to you some coupons for Borders and you could have walked right in and bought them.
That would require the time to go to a bookstore. You must be confusing me with someone who doesn’t have a child, a show opening at Dad’s Garage, and a wife working a summer season.
Though the thought is very much appreciated. Do you get Border’s coupons from being in the book biz? Do you get backstage passes to booksignings and things?
If I knew the child in question, I’d take him to the bookstore with me.
I don’t know why I get the Border’s coupons, but I do, every so often (you know, there’s just no good way to spell that). I get a discount at Chapter 11 because I’m a member of that phone number thing, whatever it’s called, just by giving them my phone number.
The book signing thing is just because I pay attention to who’s going to be signing and I know every third person in Atlanta so sometimes I can get places that others can’t. Or it’s just dumb luck.
Take the child with me! Brilliant. Sometimes we sleep-deprived types don’t think too clearly, and the obvious solutions elude us.
I actually get that Barnes n’ Noble member discount because my company is a member, and every time I stop there, I give them a scrap of notebook paper with a member number sloppily handwritten on it in ballpoint pen. And every time I think they’re going to say “you’re not REALLY a member, are you? You copied this from someone else. Police!”
Just a guilty conscience, I guess.
I’m not a member of anything and they’re practically giving me books.
If you figure out what mailing list you’re on for that kind of service, let me know.
Willdo, mildew.
imagine how it would be if you knew every second person (or would that be every other person oh well it is early on sunday morning ad i am not even suer what this reply is entirley about( prolly makes it more interesting)) the perks of that would be amazing
