[Mutakalim]

But seriously I had work experience placement at a Chapters branch...and while I was working there they decided to remove all the chairs and couches from the stores

What Chapters branch is this? I have not been to any Chapters bookstore in a month. I hope this is not the case with all the Chapters stores, because I have read many a book, and oh how many, without purchasing it.

[OG Moti]

Easy come easy GO

 

nin maskiin baa soo shaqeen habeen iyo maalin, markaa baa ladhici, kadib of course shopping.. and people wonder why women like shopping, because they spend someone else's money runtey?

 

 

Allah kariim

Peace

^^^ Only because you men havent got any use for it. ...Money isnt earned to sit idly in bank accounts

 

Laakin Shopping miyaad dhahday...OH MY GOD...My mom is considering to offer 'some' of my shoes to the salvation army :eek: ...I've bought these camouflage thingy's to cover them, that will buy me some time at least

 

OR...i mgith sell them on ebay and the profit i make would come in handy to buy some new ones... starts to dream about all the possibilities

[Salma]

Me too obssessed with books. Thanx god I quit buying magazines (Good 4 me ) and I gave away all the magazines I had to my friends.

 

I believe Books are not a waste at all, they are good friends and precious fortune for the person.

 

So BooksWORMS: keep buying books and get the benefit from them.

I shop for books. I have a variety of books in my collection relating to Astronomy, Religion, Politics, History, And English. If I hear a good book being referenced on the public radio or quoted in an online source, and I like the subject, I go buy it. Mostly educational books. I read novels only at summer time when I am off from school always and even if I buy one not in summer, it sits in my small library in my bedroom untill I get to it. I bought the "Devinci Code" last year and still didn't get a chance to finish it.

 

I also shop for nice clothes. Nothing beats nice clothes.

My #1 shopping is Perfumes, then Books even thought my dad buys any new book publishes in our country.

Fery fery Interesting

 

You know what I love books so much, Iam so attached to them. Sometimes I feel books have souls too and they need to be handled with care and respect. But unfortunately, most of the ppl around me are barabarians,uncivilised and criminals when it comes to Books :mad:

 

And my best places are the Libraries and bookshops. My greatest festivals are the Books Fairs and the 2nd Hand books Fairs (I'd never sold a book ever). Why Iam working in the IT Department, I have to change my job to a Librarian. My ultimate pleasure is in books

 

Maybe I love them more than anything. Do I have to see a shrink, nah I don't think so

The Burnaby, BC branch. Dont worry too much Mutakalim...you can still read ur books in comfort.

 

Since they removed all the chairs and couches from the store...people have come up with interesting ways of continuing to rip off the store. Theyd sit on the floor, lean against th shelves, squat down for hours until they finish the book.

 

SO now, the store has their employees make rounds of the store, telling people to get up. LOL.

[-Serenity-]

Books? Bah Humbug! :rolleyes: . I like reading magazines n newspapers but dont go out of my way to get them.

 

I spend money on services - cinemas, eating out (major buck here .. and unfortunately I've nothing to show for it - skinny as a pole),trips. I buy clothes and accessories too.

I love wasting my money on clothes! Who doesn’t but I thought I’d tell you all about a new shop thats opened, attached to the new section of the East London Mosque. It’s called ‘Arabian Nights’ and that shop is to die for!

 

The only problem is none of their cabya fit me because I’m too tall apparently, Ha! what a joke… I’m only 5ft7! It’s funny because I don’t go around wearing them all the time but I just adore them.

However, their scarves are just so lovely! The woman who owns the shop is just so friendly and she assured me they get some nice ones in for my height, inshallah.

 

But I spent most of the time just admiring the shop, pity the decor is not for sale, I just loved those little trinkets.
