What would you get with a 100 dollar gift card to a bookstore?  email this discussion to a friend?

Let's say you got a 100 dollar gift card to your favorite bookstore. Barns and Noble, Half Price Books, Books-A-Million, Borders... whatever your favorite bookstore is. What would you get with that gift card? Would you go on a full-day shopping spree and grab whatever book peaked your interest? Or would you save it and buy books a few at a time? Would you even use it to buy books? Would you get journals, notebooks, cds, magazines, movies, or something else your favorite bookstore sells?

My favorite bookstore is Barns and Noble. I would probably go on the full-day shopping spree and just have a stack of books to read for the next few months. I feel like buying the whole store whenever I'm there anyway, so with a $100 gift card I'd sure try. I probably wouldn't use it for anything but books. Maybe a journal. I like those.

Well, it would take a little more than $100, but I would get the OED, the big one!


myLot reputation of 85/100. rogue13xmen13 (10465)   ranked 171 out of 9,001 in reading  2 years ago

Oh, the OED is the Oxford English Dictionary.

lol, a dictionary that costs more than $100? Ouch.

This is no ordinary dictionary, for majors of English, this is the dictionary for us. This is OUR dictionary. The OED has it all.

I would be in a dilemma if I got a giftcard to any bookstore.
I love bookstores, I love books and I would have a really hard time deciding what to get. >w<
Maybe I'd get my own copies of books by my favorite author, or maybe some journals, or maybe manga and artbooks!

I'll buy them books, business books! They are like manuals to me. They guide me in my daily business activities, and I learn new things from them, new ideas and they open me to new opportunities, and new worlds! Read, and a new world will open... an abundant world will open!

Oh there is no doubt that I would use my money to purchase books from Borders. I always and I mean always see several books that I would like to buy from them.

I would like to imagine that I would buy a book at a time but knowing all the wonderful choices they have I probably would spend all the money at one time.

If I'm given a $100 gift card, I would spend it on a couple of things at the same time. If it can be spent on "sale" days, that would be great too, help save some money.

There is one book I really want to get now. It is entitled Making it All Work by David Allen. He is a great motivator for procrastinators and getting organised. But I can't think of anything else to get, so I may spend the rest of the money next time when I want to get another book. I might spend it on magazines as well, those pertaining to fund management and stocks. Other than, I don't think I'd spend on journals.

I used to be a teacher. My hubby is still teaching. We get loads of journals and pens of different colours. Stationery? We have sufficient of those. We both love books.

Oh ya. I may get a guitar book for my hubby. It's his hobby.

Well I would get the book I like which costs around 50 dollars. And then I would buy my boyfriend this book he has been to wanting to have ever since when. And when there's still some left, I would buy a moleskine notebook for musicians. I've been wanting to have that notebook. It's just too expensive.

I would use it for a couple of $40 to $50 books I'm looking at to update my technology knowledge up to this millennium. I graduated with an Associate's Data Processing degree in 1987, when Windows 1.0 was just coming out, and I taught myself Windows up to 3.1, but then after that I got lost.

Networks seem to be the big thing now, and if it doesn't work when I plug the things in and turn it on, I'm at a total loss at what to do next.

If it have journals in this bookstore i`ll buy them , but if they sell just books maybe i will buy them and gift somebody with them because i don`t like to read books , maybe because i`m a teenager.

Hey, I'm still a teenager and I love to read books! I've loved to read all through my teenage years. There's no age requirement or age limit on who can like to read.

For me a bookstore or library are my favorite places to be. I just love to read. I would stack up on James Patterson books and Geanalogies books. I would also buy a bunch of books for my 4 year old granddaughter. I would also look for good mystery books and autobiographies of famous people, which are my favorites.
