Ouch!

While stopping by Target last night to pick up an immersion blender (my new favorite kitchen appliance, by the way), I finally saw the $16 Nora Roberts paperback in the flesh. Unfortunately, Target, usually an excellent resource for discounted new releases, has totally failed me. You guys know those "Bookmarked" discount stickers they put on books, indicating the titles are 25% off? Well, I saw one on the Nora Roberts release, but for some reason it was only 20% off.

Seriously, why does everyone want me to pay through the nose for this sucker? I'm getting increasingly curious... but I have a long way to go before I'm curious enough to shell out $12.80, Target.
