I know I was suppose to do a book update but I am so sad at the moment.  One of my favorite bookstores is closing.

I thought Borders was having bidders but it looks like they are going to liquadate.   I am so sad.  Mainly because I have come to think of the people at the bookstore that I go to as my friends and I am so sad they are going to be losing their jobs.  I know I will still be able to keep in contact with them on Facebook and maybe livejournal, but it is not that same as going in and talking to them and seeing them. 

My heart goes out to my friends at Borders and all of the other workers I am hoping even though this economy stinks that you will all be able to find jobs and will be okay.

I am also sad that we are losing another bookstore chain.  Other then B&N there isn't any other bookstores around here.  I think it is the same in many other cities.  All of the bookstores seem to be going away.

I will miss Borders and seeing my special friends at the Exton Borders!!!

I have to agree immediate gratification can come from an e-reader but I could also walk into a bookstore and get just a much gratification by looking at all of the different books and deciding which one to buy and read. Plus the employees at the Borders I was going to where amazing. I have never been treated so well before. They where so helpful with the selections and I got to know some of them and consider them my friends.

I had never been to a books signing before and was so nervous the first time I attended one that they had. I loved going to the book signing they treated the authors so well and had fun things going on for the book signing while you waited in line and before the author showed up.

It will be really sad if there where no more bookstores around. I don't even like that the music and movie stores are almost all gone. Technology is great for some things but I still say there is nothing better then having a book in your hands while you are reading.
