Last night I went to Borders, I need a new book. I just finished my Stephanie Meyer book “The Host”. I can’t wait for her next book which is coming out the first of next month. I probably should preorder that book. I was looking for some of her other books there but most of them, I was pointed to where rather short. I want a book to last me just a little more then a week if it’s short if not then it means I have to buy more then just one book.
The Host was a great book, when I would say I am just going to read one chapter then turn off the lights, and get some sleep. I would read a bunch more then just the one chapter, I just couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know what happen. Same thing happened with her vampire series I am reading right now.
Border isn’t to busy where I go normally but I did have a line to wait in this time. Lines aren’t bad. My husband had asked for some help locating some similar authors to Stephanie Meyer and they tried to help but we make their jobs just a touch harder. I want something very specific when reading, I feel a author should have the ability to get their point across with out cussing every couple of paragraphs. I feel that when they need to resort to swearing it just shows more of a lack of talent then talent. Now that being said, I don’t mind if there are a few words that are harsh. When I really start minding it’s when G-d name gets pulled in it in a ugly way.
They showed me about at least 6 authors they felt I might like. I came in for one book and walked out with three, I could have very easily walk out with all 6 but decided 3 would be plenty of books for me to read.
I was very impress with the amount of customer service I had received. A young man was helping me try to figure out some good books which I would enjoy. He wasn’t sure because he like reading books with harsh language and didn’t want to miss lead me. One of his coworkers was about to leave for the night, and stayed there to suggest a few books she thought I would like. I like romance, and suspense and what ever Stephanie is…. I think she might be a mix of the two to be honest because there always seems to be someone falling in love, with someone who is undesirable but you always want that love affair to work out for them.
Well She had lead me to another 4 authors, and suggested a few I simply needed to stay away from because I probably would find them less enjoyable. After I had figured out which 3 books I would take, I decided before I got another book, it was time to go. There was about 7 people in line. I have never seen that many in line before, when I got into line back up was called.
I checked out with a lady, and told her I shouldn’t have deleted my email. I wasn’t planning on coming in this week but I just couldn’t resist. She asked me if I remembered what the sales was. I told her I believed it was 25 percent off, but I think the email I look at had something for 40 percent off and something for 25 percent off couldn’t remember but remembered the 25 percent off. She gave me the 25 percent of which she didn’t have to do because I didn’t have my coupon, nor did I remember to bring my card. Speaking of that I have to find it where ever it went to.
I really do enjoy Borders even though they are a large book store it’s easy to find people who are willing and happy to help there.
