If you have been a readers for a while, you know I love my books. I am not as ferocious a reader as I used to be, but I go through phases when I will get through 5 books in a week, or I won't touch one for 5 months. Summer, however, is a time that I associate with reading. It might have something to do with summer vacations from school days. I must be one of the few (at least in the US) who still purchase books. Like real books. That is only because I cannot wrap my head around e-books. I have a Kindle, and an iPad but I have only read one book on each of them. Making it a grand total of TWO e-books! I gave it a shot, you know, in the name of paper conservation and what not but I realized I need a physical book to actually enjoy reading. I will conserve paper else where (like no paper towels in the kitchen, or like by not printing boarding passes while traveling). I am glad I found
But reading is not just about books. It is also about unwinding and relaxing and diving into a world of your own. Which can't happen if you don't have a reading nook in your house , with a cozy vibe. You have already seen my rather grand book shelf, but my nook is nowhere close to the shelf. It is away, with a side table, and a stack of books which I plan to read or have recent finished and a bunch of soft pillows to rest (or lie down) on. I can practically hide-out in this narrow corner of my house and no one would know I am there.
as it is a great online resource to find used books which are in great condition and at a fraction of the original price. For example, any title marked with a DEAL tag on the detail page is priced:
- 2 books for $7.00
- 3 books for $10.00
- 4 books for $12.00
Another perk: Your orders are shipping within 24 hours and the shipping is FREE on all US Orders of $10 or more! How awesome is that?!!
Any hoo, below are some of the books I have recently read. The ones from Thriftbooks are yet to be completed though.
