Borders R.I.P. December 22, 2009

Today is the last day that Borders in the UK is open (waaaaahhhhhh!). It’s so sad as I love that shop – there was a massive one on the side of the motorway near where I live and it used to shine like a beacon of light, calling to me and welcoming me into its bookish fold as I drove past after many a stressful days work. My mecca is no more.

But every cloud……..today there was 90% off everything in store! It was absolute bedlam in there but I did manage to pick up some books from my Mt. TBR so that has put a big smile on my face. Here is what I managed to grab:

The Battle of the Sun - Jeanette Winterson

Girl, Missing - Sophie McKenzie

The Sight - David Clement-Davies

Out Stealing Horses - Per Petterson

Arthur Phillips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kept: A Victorian Mystery - D J Taylor

Babel Tower - A S Byatt
