If I had $100 to spend at B&N with no worries I'd get the Sherlock Holmes Slipcover editions. That would be sweet!

Yep. That sounds like a deal. If you come in Fall, it is absolutely beautiful here.

My dad gave me 600 bucks to help me out. And he told me to go get myself some books and some bath and body works stuff for summer. Most of the money went to things like car payment and car insurence and past due bills. He is a saint...he also just paid for a portion of our driveway to be rerocked and then he did all the work. I am telling you, I was raised by my dad and wolves. The egg donor has never done anything like that for me.

I do too. My husband has it so I read it on rainy days when I am not doing anything.
