Last night I went to the bookstore, Borders. And as this blog can attest, I love books. I'm not sure what it is about bookstores but something just calms the soul when I go into one. Maybe its the thought of the endless adventures, stories, love, heartache, relationships, that I will be able to encounter by the books. Whatever it is...it consumes me. Which is why I don't let myself go into bookstores too often (and by too often, I mean I go probably 1/2 a month). I went crazy last night. I bought 4 books, at one point I had 6 books in my arms. Now, keep in mind, these are in addition to the already 5 book long list on the right side of this blog. I just felt an itch to get some books. Maybe its my mom who I inherited that from, she and I can do some serious damage together at B&N. Anways, the books I added to my collection, and will surely be reviewed on this blog are as follows: An American Wife; Julie and Julia; An American Wife; Julie and Julia; Same Kind of Different as Me; and I Know this Much is True (Wally Lamb). I'm excited to read all four of those. The other two I put down were "The Help" and "Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella. I'll save those for next time. And trust me, there will be a next time, and I'll probably still have 5 books on the list to read.
Vision in White review coming up shortly (about 100 pages left to read...)
I read and loved Wally Lamb's Shes Come Undone and Couldn't Keep it to Myself. Can't wait to hear what you think of this other title... what an amazing writer.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about bookstores...libraries, too! If you are ever in Miami, you cannot miss Books and Books in the coral gables location!!! It is one of the reasons I live in Miami... a fabulous bookstore with a courtyard, amazing architecture, and of course, great books!!!
