Sadly, Borders is going bankrupt


 I was quite saddened to hear the news a few days ago that one of my favorite places in the world—Borders—is filing for bankruptcy.



And by the way, in case you got any Borders gift cards for Christmas (like me), you should try to use them as soon as possible. Companies filing for bankruptcy will occasionally refuse gift cards as payments for items.

Surprisingly, though, they are still offering coupons for in-store and online purchases. I guess coupons are just staples of the thriving and the failing business.

  2. Amazing! Is Amazon running everyone who still sells printed books out of business? Hopefully B&N will stay the game just so we can go browse and select books in person. If not, I'll be heading to the library much more often.

  3. This makes me sad since I spend so much time there, but doesn't surprise since I spend so little money there. Why would I buy something at Borders when I can get it on Amazon for ten dollars less?
