Today we both had the day off, so that is on my mind. We went to lunch at this amazing Mexican restaurant downtown and then took a stroll and browsed through my favourite used book store. I bought three books, but one is for my new course that starts on Monday. The other two were for pure pleasure. If there is one thing I love to buy, it's books. I try not to buy too many per year, but that never quite works out. Plus who can turn down a five dollar book that has as much charm as this one?
In my all time favourite novel, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, there are several classic novels mentioned, a lot of them obscure and unheard of. Today, I stumbled upon one of those. The Woman in White. I am so excited to start this one! Here are my other finds:
What a wonderful way to spend our day off together!

We share your illness - LOVE of books. I'm so glad you found such treasures and had a lovely day together.
ReplyDeleteI have a love of books also, and getting quite a collection of really old reading books. I just love the smell and I like to let my imagination go wild and think about who may have owned these treasures before me. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a perfect day! I share the same illness as you and Becky and Golden Lilly. Fun isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend reading.
ReplyDeleteAh, my fellow reading addicts it is so nice to know I am not alone! Thanks for all of the support :)
