Oh amazon, how I love thee

My main sources for books lately. Amazon.com and Goodwill. How I love you. Friday I snagged Paint it Black, finished it this morning on my break at work and came home to a package containing House of Leaves. I am a very happy camper.

Today a coworker and I were talking about books. She and I bonded over discussing books and we've both noticed we do that allot. We talked about how we spent hours at the library when we were younger, she always carries her Kindle and I always have a book in my purse. We couldn't live without them. It boggles us that people don't all do these things.

I guess I understand that not all people enjoy the same things, but reading is such a wonderful thing, it makes me sad that so many people never read so many wonderful things.

Kris loves reading but he's the kind of person who NEEDS to be doing something. If he has the choice of reading or working on a car/bike/house/plumbing etc. he'll go work. Now that he's on the bus for an hour every morning and evening he's happy to read :) and I he gets so into his books that I catch him reading at night when I'm asleep using my book light. Adorable <3

I don't know why I keep a blog. I'm really too boring for this.



I wish I had a Ryuk. he's so cute.

Whatever, I love your blog. It's one of my favorites.

AND now that you've finished, write up a review and we'll have you as a guest reviewer on the Blue Bookcase. Pretty pretty please?
