I went back to Barnes & Noble this weekend because when I was there for book club last week I saw a new edition of the Bella Grace Field Guide. These magazines don’t tend to last very long on the stand and I wanted to see if it was something I wanted to have so I had to go back.
Of course I also found out that the B&N Classics were 50% off and couldn’t resist adding two titles to my library. I got O Pioneers! by Willa Cather and A Room with a View by E.M. Forster. I wanted a few others but actually wasn’t sure if I already had them on my shelves so I decided to not go overboard.
The last book was The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I read this when I was a teen and I owned a copy but it was unfortunately one of my childhood books that got damaged in an apartment flooding when I was in college. I thought it was time to get a copy for my shelves. I think being that I was in Amsterdam recently, Anne Frank’s story has been on my mind so I want to re-read it.
I did a bit of crafting and organizing so on the whole a very nice weekend. Now to catch up on some reading before it’s time to get the work week started. Did you add any new books to your shelves this weekend?
I’ve had some disappoints and DNF’s recently, but I’ve been busy with other projects to make up for it. Or maybe I find time for other projects when I’m not happy with my books. 🙂
What a fun weekend! A Room With A View is one of my favorite books. 🙂
I was thinking the other day I should reread The Diary of a Young Girl. My last purchase was a book I bought for a FB book club read one of my friend’s talked me into. I think I may have the print copy on my shelf, but the e-book was only 99 cents, so I splurged. Not the best reason, but there you have it. LOL I hope you are having a good week!
