I hope you’ve all had a great weekend. Other than complaining about the heat, it was a quiet weekend. I am so ready for fall and hopefully cooler temps that I’ll take low 90s at this point!
Anyway, enough complaining because there are actually some exciting things to celebrate about living in Austin. We have three new indie bookstores! Well, technically one is in Dripping Springs but it’s not too far away. I’m just thrilled that my city is welcoming more bookshops. Thanks to the upcoming Labor Day weekend and an extra day off, I’m hoping to visit one of them.
This weekend I caught up on some snail mail and sent off a couple of letters and also did a bit of journaling. I even started listing all the books I need to do some mini reviews for and am I behind.
So overall didn’t do too much. We did have a quick visit in Barnes & Noble as it’s the closest bookstore to us and got to check out some interesting magazines. I saw a lot dedicated to fall and recipes and decorations for the upcoming season. I’m all in! Now though it’s time to get ready for the work week. I hope you have a great start to the week and hope you are enjoying some good books!
Oh, those temps! I would complain if I had to suffer through a week of 100+ heat. Ugh! On the other hand, I’m still wishing for warmer temps, and maybe we’ll have an Indian Summer, but who knows.
You are very lucky to live near so many bookstores! We only have a couple of used bookstores, and the closest indie is about 90 minutes away, but we do visit as many as possible when we’re traveling. Speaking of which, I’m looking forward to Munro’s when we’re in Victoria next month!
Have a wonderful week, Iliana. Looking forward to your mini book reviews.
Three new indie bookstores? Lucky! I am sorry your temps are still so hot and yucky. Hope things start to cool down for you soon.
Lesley – I’ll send you some sun and warm weather your way! It’s been one unbearable summer for sure. All anyone talks about is the heat and how we’re so tired of it! I cannot believe Austin has become such a book town but I love it. Can’t wait to discover these. I went to Munro’s when I was in B.C. several years ago and it is such a great place. I hope you have so much fun visiting!
Lark – I know, I can’t believe we’re so lucky to have these bookstores. As much as I complain about our weather and traffic, at least we have bookstores! 🙂 Hope you have a great week!
