Amazon is my favorite

Amazon.com is my favorite place to shop for books. The prices are unbeatable. It's also the only bookstore I can go to in my pajamas. Yesterday I ordered seven books and only one of them was over $5.00. I also got free shipping.

  1. Wuthering Heights by: Emily Bronte $4.80
  2. The Great Gatsby by: F. Scott Fitzgerald $4.81
  3. Nine Stories by: J.D. Salinger $6.99
  4. Dubliners by: James Joyce $2.00
  5. Little Earthquakes by: Jennifer Weiner $3.99
  6. Monday or Tuesday: Eight Stories by:Virginia Woolf $1.50
  7. The Awakening by: Kate Chopin $2.00

Grand Total: $26.09
