Well, I didn’t exactly go on an adventure yesterday, I only spent ten minutes in the library bookstore after my shift was over. I didn’t find an out of print copy of Pride and Prejudice in French, either. I simply picked up four books to add onto my bookshelf of books I have yet to read (I’m running out of book space). I don’t get more books just to get them, honest…I just acquire them at a much faster pace than I can read them. I would say that I’d be catching up on my reading this summer, but I don’t really know if I actually will or not. I had lots of reading time last summer, but at that time I wasn’t doing nearly as much as I do now.
Sighsssssssssssssssssss. Looking at the “In Hopes of Reading Sometime Soon” shelf…I’m starting to wonder if I really will or not. I mean someday I’m sure I’ll get to reading them, but some of the books there I’d really love to, but kinda doubt that I will. A few examples of this are the intriguing-looking, but also big and intimidating looking hardcovers of Beloved, The Hundred Secret Senses (Gahhh but come on! It‘s Amy Tan!), White Oleander, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Well, here’s to hoping…*cheers*.
Anyways, back to the topic of the books I bough yesterday…before I was sidetracked by my overwhelming shelf. I picked up -
The Almost Moon, Alice Seybold --- It’s autographed and a pre-release edition!!!
The Memory of Running, Ron McLarry
The Ha-Ha, Dave King - This and above are also pre-releases. I collect those, in case you couldn’t tell =P)
Snow Falling on Ceders, David Guterson - Just a regular copy. I’ve been haring a lot about it, and it looks good, so yeah.
If anyone gets to reading these books before me, let me know how they are. But no spoilers, please :)
