BTT - Showing off in public

Today's question is about carrying books in public.  Do you hide or show off your covers?

In the world of eReaders, iPads , etc I think that more people are carrying "books" around.  I used to carry my Nook everywhere, but I was always leaving it in the car and the battery would die and then I wouldn't have the right charger with me and so on.  Now I mostly leave my Nook in my bedroom so that I can read in bed without disturbing my husband. (It's a Nook Color)

I do carry a book in the car at all times though.  I don't hide the cover, but I also don't like to leave it out on the seat to get faded in the sun.

The book in my car was given to me by my friend April.  I forget the name of it, but it's a christian book.  To be honest I am having a hard time getting into it, and having it in the car doesn't really help.  I will read it though!

What are you reading right now?  Are you hiding the cover?

Go Check out Booking Through Thursday and answer the question yourself.

A few great days

I have recently had a few great days.  We stopped by the library last week & they were having their normal book sale.  I glanced through the stacks as we were checking out & I was pretty lucky to find 3 great hard back books!  They were only $1 each.  When I was paying for them she told me that the sale today was buy 2 get 1 free!!  3 HARDBACKS FOR $2!!!!! 

SAW is a huge Stephen King fan, so that one is for him.  The other two looked brand new & sound interesting, so they will be added to my "to read" list.

     I have also been having some great Mail Days!  My sister, Becky, sent us a package with a book for SAW, an adorable lamp for BUG, and a few things for MJ.  Then I got a package friday from my brother.  He sent me a bunch of canned salmon (YUM!!!) and some earrings and a barnes & nobel gift card & a candle (Christmas & brithday gifts).  THEN I got MORE great stuff in the mail on Saturday!!!

hmmmm, for some reason it won't load right..... Anyways, I got

• my Nook back from B&N (had to send it back because it broke)
• Coupons & recipe cards from Contessa foods because I sent them an email about thier website
• A $25 Target gift card that I won from Shopaholic Sarah
• I mooched The Invitation from Bookmooch.com

So It has been a pretty good Mail Month for me.  And, as an added plus, I finally mailed the packages I have been intending to mail for a month now.  Woo Hoo!!

I hope all your mail dreams come true for you!

Have a great week!

Discussing books - BTT

this weeks question:

Do you have friends and family to share books with? Discuss them with? Does it matter to you?

Bek & I talk books all the time, we share them & lend them on our nook & mail them to each other. I also talk books with christa & the ladies at the library . It is important for me to be able to share something I love with family & friends.

how about you??
