If I could, I would live in a bookstore

Yup, you read that right. ;D
Bookstores are amazing. Especially used books bookstores, like Half-Price Books; because then you find a bunch of old editions of great classics that smell like heaven and feel so soft to your fingers....
As you probably guessed, I just went to Half-Price Books the other day with my mom. We went, really, to find a birthday present for a friend of ours, and my mom made me promise that we wouldn't look for anything for ourselves until we had found a birthday present. Good thing she did, because as soon as our mission was completed, I went hog-wild and carefully scrutinized the fantasy, ficition, and young adult bookshelves. I was as happy as Winnie the Pooh when he finds a honey pot. You won't believe how many hours I could spend in a bookstore, poring over books and deciding just what exactly I want to buy. Soon enough, I was squealing and jumping for joy over some of my finds. What I actually bought was:

-'Anne's House of Dreams' and 'Anne of Ingleside' (or, #5 and #6 in the Anne of Green Gables series)
-An absolutely BEAUTIFUL hardback copy of 'Eragon' (and for only $7! I was delighted =D) and...
-two Enya albums, Watermark and Shepherd Moons. Mom was like "Don't you have enough Enya?!" With the purchase of Watermark and Shepherd Moons, I now have 5 Enya albums. Perhaps I should stop there, eh? =D
Sum total: $22. I was pretty happy with that. ;D

*sigh of rapture* I love bookstores!! I think I'll ask for gift cards to Half-Price Books for my birthday, when it comes. ;)

Speaking of books, I posted Chapter 17 of "And There Were Three" (my book) on apricotpie.com. Copy and paste this address into your Google or Internet Explorer address bar to read it:

Enjoy. ;D

Hey There!

Thanks for you comment! Yes, I agree! It is pretty neat-o that we are both on blogger!

You are so right about bookstores--I could live in one too! I'd much rather a used book bookstore, though. Those are the BEST books. :)

I like what Sydnee Kate Yavanenski said about coffee--I laughed through her last commnet. *SMILE* Too funny!

See you around!
