Treasure Hunting
I am normally not a finder of good deals. My mennonite ancestors would be ashamed. I live up to very few of the stereotypes - if any. But I must say that I did VERY well at the Chapters sales tables last week.For $22, I (legally) walked away with:
- Design in Canada
- The Darling
- A book on Modern Art
- A book on Impressionism
- The Best Time to do Everything
Between that and my post-Christmas book buying binge (the Jennifer Weiner short story book, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, and a few other goodies), I've got enough to keep me happy for at least a couple more weeks. In any case, they help to fill that annoying gap in time between Conan's opening monologue and the start of The Daily Show.
I read The Memory Keeper's Daughter this weekend, cover to cover (one of the only benefits of illness). I do not remember the last time that happened, but let me tell you - it was glorious. I only wish I'd been healthy enough to truly enjoy the moment.
Finishing one book certainly means that I can justify yet another book purchase. Now if only I had a library to keep them all in... ;)

Oh, we're so cool. Both of us posted book blogs independant of each other.
We're such kindred spirits... :)
Yes, I'm sure that COOL was the word they were all looking for... :P
I bought more books this weekend, too. Like I needed any more. Enjoy your new ones!
