New Books

Bought a few new books today. Here is what I purchased:

• The Blind Side
• The Illiad (the Robert Fagels translation; had been looking for it for a number of years)
• The Handmaid's Tale

I also purchased a few books online as well. Here is what I ordered:
• The Little Black Apron: A Single Girl's Guide to Cooking with Style and Grace
• Leafs Abomination: The Dismayed Fan's Handbook To Why The Leafs Stink And How They Can Rise Again
• Going Solo In The Kitchen

I should get the books that I ordered tonight sometime around the 22nd. All books ordered and purchased where through ChaptersIndigo.

Books and Libraries

I love reading, don't get me wrong, and I love libraries and exploring them and I have found gems that I wouldn't have otherwise have found had I not explored the bookshelves of my local library (if you can count the online catalogue as bookshelves, but I have found books by just picking them up from the library). Anyways, it seems that whenever I step into a library or a bookstore, I can't help but come out with a bunch of books in my hands. I know that I am taking more than I can possibly read, but some of them are so good that I don't want them to slip from my hands. I suppose you can call me a book whore and maybe I should try to control my urges to get my hand on a new book. I guess this isn't the time of day to decide.
