Borders is Closing

Some time in the last year, our huge Borders in downtown Santa Barbara closed.  I never even thought to go there to buy the books at a discount.

Now that our smaller Borders in Goleta is closing in under 2 weeks, I decided to go check out what they had.  The first time I went a few weeks ago things were only 20-40% off so I think I bought a whopping ONE book.  But I went in tonight when everything is 60-80% off and went a bit crazy...and I want to go back when I have more time!  I bought 15 books...most by authors I have never heard of.  Here is my list:

Baby Love and Blue Skies by Catherine Anderson
Fear the Worst and No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay
The Chocolate Mouse Trap and The Chocolate Puppy Puzzle by Joanna Carl
*Plum Island and The Charm School by Nelson DeMille
*Lucky's Lady by Tami Hoag
*See How She Dies by Lisa Jackson
*Never Look Back by Linda Lael Miller
White Heat by Brenda Novak
Murder in the Heartland by M. William Phelps (I think this one is a true story with pictures!)
Home Again by Mariah Stewart
An Invitation to Sin (4 stories by 4 authors)

Has anyone ever heard of any of these authors?  I put a * by the ones I have heard of.  Hope my book choices are good!

Has your Borders in your town closed?
