I bad for not remembering dates. I will think about the dates either two weeks early or after the date.

Sometimes, maybe two times at year, they're fairs at my university and the only time I saw something that was interesting was when I got Lord Of The Rings's books. I'm dying to go to the capital of my country, it's 3 hours from where I live, there are a couple of stores that sells used books at $0.50!!! Yep, but they keep those books with a lot of dust but i don't mind to get dirty to buy, maybe a dozen of them :) <br />2- I'm usually good remembering dates, I don't know why, even if I don't have a close friendship with anyone, but if you tell me that this day is your birthday, next year I'll remember it and think about that it's your bday! But, because I'm human, sometimes I forgot my anniversary with my boyfriend, (lol) we're like you with your husband, so I smiled when I read your answer. :)Liss Martzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296707055130348001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-71949438314449259902013-12-01T12:07:51.039-06:002013-12-01T12:07:51.039-06:001.

I usually buy ebooks for my nook now so don't buy a lot of hard or soft cover books but it depends on if I can wait to read the book or want to read it when it first comes out.<br /><br />2.

We also can never remember how long we've been married and have to go find our certificate to see how long it has been.

I do buy several of them mostly for me and for my mother ( when well she reads really quickly and that helps me to keep up)for example i will buy some between now and christmas to make her tries new authors and if she loves one then i will rush back in the second hand bookstore to try to find more or if i don't find any i will buy them new as i do for her favourites ones she can't wait to read.<br /> For my brother i buy news because he doesn't like used and since it's a gift i don't mind<br /><br />Second, i tries to remember them all and usually i'm quite good but when too exhausted i take one day after another so i don't even know which day we are so at those time birthdays are forgotten ( and i feel bad about it each time)mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841065155860721811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-40705695741120241472013-12-01T05:15:38.593-06:002013-12-01T05:15:38.593-06:001.

In fact just last month I brought 14 used books (in almost new condition and with no spine creasing or dogeared pages) for around $10 from a book fair :)<br /><br />2. I am good at remembering birthdays and anniversaries of the people close to me. And of-course Facebook helps a lot. Anubhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255841835649309674noreply@blogger.com
