Can We Talk 2

Book Fair

         We went to the Book Fair today. It opens every six weeks and runs for two. That gives them time to set up the displays, make deals, and regroup. The cashiers get some time off. We usually only go once in a while. But we went to two back to back. We enjoyed the last batch so much that we wanted more.

         There's something very exciting about being in a huge complex with almost nothing but books! I usually linger over cookbooks, but I have come to realize I don't enjoy cooking that much any more, and I can find most recipes I want on the Internet. So I resisted browsing that section. I did look at Sci Fi in the children's section. We actually got quite a few for children's Christmas presents.

         My biggest weakness is in current fiction and history. I browsed but resisted the urge to pick up "coffee table books". My dad likes books on antique guns, history, and westerns. I noticed the Spanish section has grown in size, including a large section of Spanish Bibles.

         I couldn't wait to get home and read! I had some laundry to do and supper to fix. But after doing the dishes, I got into a book. Ah. So sweet.
