Major Book Fair

A couple of friends told me that they have just returned from the Big Bad Wolf Books book fair and they had to carry their book purchases in boxes. I think they just want to make me jealous of them. I so would like to go too but can't because of commitments at home so I am not able to travel to the capital city.

These friends told me that they managed to buy new magazines, good quality foreign travel magazines, at only $3 each while new novels were only $8 each. There were books sold at other prices as well, of course. They just told me the cheapest prices. My, am I envious of them!

My friends said that they abused their credit cards after their cash ran out. It actually wasn't money that limited their purchases. It was their inability to carry anymore boxes of books. I think that if they bought anymore, they would need a Moving Company on standby to help them send their books home.

I think it’s a blessing in disguise as well that I didn’t manage to visit the book fair of I would bust my budget again and then have a huge problem on my hands trying to figure out how to cart those books home!
