This week's Random Thursday with Lin, Katrin and I is one that calls for confessing to a lack of will power that I'm sure we all share, because we want you to share the things:
Okay. So as you might have noticed, I'm a bit of a book worm. I.e., if I'm near a bookstore, I have to go into it. Once I'm in said bookstore, I have to look at every shelf in every section I'm even marginally interested in. Once I've done that, I have to spend an hour weeding through the armful of books I've accumulated to narrow down which books I absolutely HAVE to take home with me RIGHT NOW. I then have to purchase said books and keep them within arm's reach for at least the next 12 hours.
Yes, my name is M, and I'm a book addict. Right now, this is my favourite bookstore:
Yes, I know, I shouldn't be a slave to the big chain stores. And trust me, I love little hole-in-the-wall bookstores to an embarrassing degree. But lately I'm digging the sheer volume of books available in one place, the fact that the books are crisp, clean and new, and also (though I hate to admit it) the proximity to my favourite holiday beverage: the Peppermint Mocha! Judge if you must. But it's my happy place.
A'ight, I've 'fessed up, now it's your turn!
Ah, books! I like to go into the local Goodwill when I have spending money--all of their paperbacks are just $1, and I always come out with an armload. I try to limit myself to what I can fit in my shoulder bag, haha. But I usually end up with more than that!
ReplyDeleteI really should do that more - but I just have a thing for new books. I'll actually sort through the stack at the bookstore to find one without any dents or markings. It's a thing. Also I'd probably take home the whole damn book section if they were only a buck a piece!
DeleteWe could definitely go book shopping together!
ReplyDeleteYes, please!
DeleteIt may just be me and my crooked eyeballs but that store appears to be falling into the earth! Whoa. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI love your addiction to books. It really helps out when I get the reading itch and need a quick recommendation. Go to the internet? Hell no! I have Em :)
Yep, you've got me! though technically I'm on the internet too, so..... ;)
