Also in March: evolving circumstances allowed / required me to accelerate my plan to move out a piece of furniture and relocate this little bookcase in its place. In the process I folded my #readordonate books back into the general TBR shelf and decided to donate the tagged book unread.
Magazines to be read are on the bottom shelf and stacked on the side. On top of the magazines are the “outbox” for books and a box for the Real Simple cards.
pickSo conflicted about this one. One second I was marveling at the beautiful writing, then I was bored, then confused, then intrigued--and this cycle continued. Interesting idea: the fictional story of journalist and writer Ambrose Bierce who travels to Mexico apparently to die by joining Pancho Villa's rebellion. The real-life Bierce disappeared and no one knows what happened. This is a dreamy and philosophical explanation: I liked it just barely.
#bookhaul from a lovely used bookshop I just met today in Madison, NJ - The Chatham Bookseller. Great selection, and is it weird for me to think that the louder the floorboards creak, the better the experience? There was also a cute new bookstore on the same street that I would have had a 2nd book haul from if I had more time. A small town to have two bookshops- I wish that was still a normal thing, but most towns in this area don't even have one.
From a second-hand bookstore, inscribed by the author 'To Tedi, from his pal Carlos Fuentes'... I would love to know who Tedi is! High on my #TBR ... #mexicanwriters #MayBookFlowers
I bought this second-hand, #signed by the author "To (?)Tedi, from his pal Carlos Fuentes."
Reading the blurb, it's about Mexico and the United States and 'the tragic history of these two cultures in conflict'. I think I'll have to move it up the TBR pile... ? #ReadJanuary
Did you know we know we are all the object of another's imagination?
