A new book, really!

I had a gift card to a local used/new bookstore (from selling them books).

On a different day, I used it to buy The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart.
On this day I bought Kitchen Con by Trevor White.

I wasn't a very good judge of timing, because this particular bookstore closed before I could finish spending my store credit. $9, gone. Poof. Ah well.
