Happy Book Lovers Day!

There is a day for everything! But this is one of the best! How can you NOT love Book Lovers Day!!!

I'm one of those admitted Book Addicts. I'm ok with it. When I lived in the US and was in the loveliness of a great economy, I used to buy a book a week. Now, I have to be a little more fickle about what I buy, but my local library is one of my favourite places to be.
And yes, I love looking through Amazon and getting wish lists together... *Sigh.*

Books are awesome!

At the moment, I have a couple books going on that I've been switching back and forth between.

You gotta love some good old fiction and mystery!

Of course, there are about a million reference books I have on my shelf at any one moment. Cookbooks, How To's, Art books for ideas and motivation...

I love the library...

Not any particular library, but just most every library there is.

I've been hitting up one close to my work lately and its fantastic. I've only been there twice and have come across books that are exactly what I was looking for. Kudos to the Yarra-Melbourne branches! I think more businesses need to work like libraries actually.

Anyways, I'm very happy about the announcement of this exhibit opening at the State Library of Victoria the 3rd of Decemeber... I've been in love with a lot of the illustrations in children's book lately and this will hopefully kick start me into something good. Fingers crossed!

So, what are you reading? 

On my night stand at the moment :

Local Girls by Alice Hoffman 

(thank you Richmond Library!)

Day 13 — A fictional book

 

I think when you are forced to read some of these classics, you are in High School, a time in your life when no one understands you. No one knows what you like. This is how I was when I first read this. Arrogant and unknowing. But a couple years ago I reread this. It blew me away of how the classic-tragic-doomed-romance hasn't really changed at all. 

 

Of course it always helps to imagine Heathcliff as Laurence Olivier...
