They have a pretty decent layout, have broken out horror from fiction, and carry a nice little selection of smaller named authors in this smaller genre. I was pleasantly surprised.

I could have added some books to my TBR pile but abstained.

I visited my local B&N here in my new home state of AZ, and was very impressed by the Horror department selection (and of the store in general). I know they’ve made improvements since their sale a few years ago and I saw some of that back in WA state, but this AZ store took it to a new level. I wasn’t prepared to buy, but if I was I could’ve dropped a couple hundred bucks easy. It was great to see.

First time in a long time but purchased Christmas gifts from B&N. Typically gift some type of trade that is signed or something a little special but this year my kiddos (who are adults) will be getting plain old HC's.

Tonight's Sallis event was cancelled, unfortunately.

Yeah, was planning to go and received that email while I was at work. Very glad that they sent it as I was able to alter my plans, but it was a bummer. I know he's been dealing with some health issues and hope he recovers.

Thank Ron! Noticed that James Sallis is also going to be there live at the beginning of December which has me pretty excited as well! Definitely a cool store!

Anyone having black Friday sales? Between naps I may need to check a few sites out.

Haven’t seen much so far.

PS Publishing had some good sales in their newsletter yesterday.

If you get the Subterranean Press newsletter, they had a handful of books on sale through the weekend.

I picked up a book from Sub Press this morning and will probably get a few from PS if no other book sales happen this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving, right back at ya! And to everyone else on the forum. As always, I continue to be thankful for this community and the respite it brings from the rest of the internet.

Completely random - but after a little over five and a half years, I'm starting a new job tomorrow (assuming my work laptop arrives earlier that FedEx's estimate of "before 8pm".

Some of you may actually remembering me moving from Washington to Colorado in March of 2019 for this job. Well, an opportunity presented itself that I couldn't say no to. It was a hard decision, especially since I was walking away from a year-end bonus of about $10k. Yes, I was getting a small salary increase, but this opportunity would give me more opportunity to expand my knowledge and training, plus allow me to focus on what I enjoyed about my last/current job without all of the bureaucracy.

At least this job doesn't require me to move - it's 100% remote.

So yay me I guess.

Huge congrats to you!

Congratulations on the new gig, TD…sounds like a great new opportunity!

Good luck! I'm sticking around at my current WFH job until my daughter is done with college or they offshore my position to India, whichever comes first

Wishing you the best of luck! I recently left my job f 18 years+ to start a fully remote job. Same deal as you...I was starting on August 12th, and my laptop and equipment arrived after dark on the 11th. My wife and i spent hours hooking everything up and running though the e-mail about what to download, how to install things, what apps I would need for my phone, etc....only to find out the next day that I was just supposed to hook up the laptop and the monitor, and do all of the other stuff in a zoom meeting with all of my fellow newbies, lol.

Again, best of luck!
