Bookfession, Again

My family tends to buck tradition so when it came time for Easter, my mom and I headed to Geppi’s Entertainment Museum in downtown Baltimore. Depending on how many signs you read and how much you interact with the exhibit, you can easily kill 2 hours there. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the American Visionary Art Museum but I expected a little more out of the gift shop. They had some cool stuff but not as much as I was expecting.

The staff was great. I’m planning on buying the Sandman box set sometime this year. Most of the items in the store are at least 20% off the cover price. If I order it through them, they’ll stay open late enough for me to swing by and pick it up as long as they know I’m coming. He was also very helpful in giving me some ideas on how to put together my Jayne Cobb costume that I’ve been failing epically to cobble together.

With a museum full of comics and a staff this helpful and cool, it was inevitable I’d buy stuff. I also had $75 in Barnes and Noble gift cards and a 20% coupon. That’s as good a time as any to buy a new book I bring you my latest bookfession

Mr. Stuffins by Andrew Cosby It’s about a badass teddy bear. ‘Nuff said.

Archie Meets Kiss by Alex Segura My mom was talking about how she let me read whatever Archie comics I wanted and is convinced that helped with my current love of reading. She’s not wrong.

Cash and Carry by Tim Broderick Interesting premise, autographed, and 20% off.

Path of the Just edited by James Lowder A $2 superhero fiction anthology. So not apologizing for this one.

Saga by Brian K. Vaughan I’ve wanted to read it and I’ve heard good things. Plus the staff helped talk me into it.

Dr. Horrible and Other Horrible Stories by Zack Whedon Like you would have said no?

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov That particular book has popped up many times in the last year. I waited until B&N sent me a coupon and paired it with a gift card so it was free. Since I went into the bookstore, I ended up with another book that caught my attention

Point Your Face at This by Dmitri Martin I really enjoyed his last book and this one was only $13. With the coupon and the gift card both Lolita and Point Your Face didn’t cost anything. At least I know what I’m doing for Classic and Free

Music: Hometown Glory by ADELE
