Now I Wait

I got tired of searching libraries and bookstores for a copy of Indiana by George Sand. I think at this point it would have been a lot cheaper if I had ordered it to begin with. I could have saved some gas money.

So tonight I placed my order and it actually turned out to be a good thing because I also added the latest Maná CD, Amar Es Combatir, to my order. I love these guys. I can’t wait to get my box of goodies.

Short post tonight because I’m off to finish The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Birds of a Feather. I’m “this” close to finishing both books.

More Classics

I’m not sure when the Barnes & Noble sale on Classics will be over but I figured I’d better stock up on a few more. So I went back this weekend and got:

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Daisy Miller & Washington Square by Henry James

The first one I’ll probably start is Little Women for the Our Coffee Rings book club September selection. Speaking of book groups, I’ve had the hardest time finding Indiana, the next Slaves of Golconda selection, at any of the local bookstores or libraries. Does no one read George Sand anymore?

Aside from a bit of book shopping this weekend we also saw two films, Hollywoodland and Little Miss Sunshine. I loved LMS. I really needed a good laugh. So off to read now.

Gothic Overload

For those of you participating in the R.I.P. Challenge, you must check out The Literary Gothic. I’m bowled over at how many authors and titles are listed. I’m really looking forward to spending some time on that site. Just think of all the creepy books waiting to be discovered.

Speaking of the Challenge, I started reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. And, is it me but every time I think of this book I find it hard to associate with Stevenson. When I think of his books I think of A Child’s Garden of Verses.

Anyway on to the weekend. I have a lot of reading time planned, a birthday dinner to attend, and my husband is showing some of his art work at a local festival. Hopefully he’ll sell something and I can buy more books. Hee,hee.

Have a wonderful weekend.
