Oh my. It’s all my fault. I haven’t been shopping at B&N nearly as much as I used to. It’s true. I’ve been shopping almost exclusively at Borders these days. They’re just so darned adept at ‘exploiting my emotional frailty’ with their promotions and coupons. Sorry, B&N ;p
You know, if they built a Barnes and Noble in Terre Haute, I would do as much as I possibly could to bring their sales up!
Well, I have a B&N here in town. And I’d really like to buy more there ( I have a discount card and get the coupons in e-mails). BUT- They’ve been consistantly making the Romance section smaller and smaller. To the point that when I go in there to buy ( with my list of recommendations from you all and other blogs/sites ) NONE of them are there!
I can’t buy what they don’t HAVE!!??????
