Anyone who’s been to university or college knows that textbooks don’t come cheap. To help mitigate the costs, the hubby and I trade in our areoplan miles for chapters.ca gift certificates. Today, some of the books we recently ordered arrived in the mail *yippee*.

• The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil – Philip Zimbardo
• Telling Ain’t Training – Harold D. Stolovich
• Training Ain’t Performance – Harold D. Stolovich
• Transferring Learning to Behavior: Using the Four Levels to Improve Performance – Donald L. Kirkpatrick, James D. Kirkpatrick
• The First-Time Trainer: A Step-by-step Quick Guide For Managers, Supervisors, And New Training Professionals – Tom W. Goad
• Crossing The Chasm: Marketing and Selling High-Tech Products to Mainstream Customers – Geoffrey A. Moore
• Inside The Tornado: Strategies For Developing, Leveraging, And Surviving Hypergrowth Markets – Geoffrey A. Moore
• Born In Death – JD Robb
• You Suck Lp – Christopher Moore

I also had an Amazon.com gift certificate burning a hole in my online account that was given to me by Susan and Erica as part of their Debut a Debut contest prizes. I had the best intentions when I went shopping on Amazon – intending to either pick-up a book by new debut author or put it towards a textbook – but in the end I ended up picking up a new series of books by a “new to me” author.

So, from Amazon I ordered the following and am now anxiously awaiting their arrival:

• Undead and Unreturnable – MaryJanice Davidson
• Undead and Unappreciated – MaryJanice Davidson
• Undead and Unemployed – MaryJanice Davidson
• Undead and Unwed – MaryJanice Davidson

Thanks to Laughing Muse I now have a list of recommended books to read once I chug through these ones.
