I've got books lining my shelves day and night....

I have a membership with Barnes & Noble that allows me to get 10% most things there at all times.  But this week I got a coupon that said this weekend only, my discount was 20%.  So after work today, I headed to Barnes & Noble.  And after an hour of slow, wonderous wandering, I left the store, with 7 books.  The price was roughly $125, but with my discount, it came to just a smidge over $100, so basically, one book was free!  Sweet.

I will not be posting all 7 titles, as one was a gift, and while I don't believe that person visits the Palace, there's no reason to take a chance.  And since it's a gift, I'm not including it in the book or money totals for the year.

Today, I purchased:

-How The States Got Their Shapes Two, by Mark Stein
-What If? Of American History, (a series of essays, it has no single author)
-Life Below Stairs, by Alison Maloney
-Worst.  President.  Ever.  , by Robert Strauss  (interestingly enough, this book is about James Buchanan, NOT tRump, although, I feel certain there's going to be many MANY books with similar titles in a few years)
-Tudors, The History Of England From Henry VIII to Elizabeth I, by Peter Ackroyd
-WhoGraphic An Infographic Guide To Time And Space, by Guierrer, O'Brien, and Morris
