BrownGirl Speaks

Barnes & Noble's loss is my gain here. I'm very disappointed to see the B&N in my neighborhood closing after more than a decade. My neighborhood is a victim of "white flight", hence the downfall of this last bookstore left in the area. Anyway, this about the awesome deals I snagged a few days ago. So, my son got an early Christmas present. All the clearance items were an additional 50% off and I found several things I've been wanting for our homeschool bookshelves.

I should've taken another picture of the tangrams out of the box. They're a really nice stained wood set and it included a great book with the history of tangrams and, of course, tons of puzzles. Well worth the amazing $5 I paid for it.

Needless to say, the teacher/education section was wiped out. However, I did spot that Explode the Code 4 workbook which is exactly where he'll be once we finish the online version (fyi: not feeling the online version AT ALL). The writing workbook was the cheapest at $2. And the two Poetry For Young People books were my happiest find. So, I spent just under $30 for what would have normally been about $60. I think I'll go back one more time before they close the doors on New Years Eve.
