For 10+ years we had a Borders Bookstore in town. I was there at least once a week. I loved it. I was seriously in mourning the first couple of years after they closed. There are a couple of used bookstores in town and one small independent store. Honestly? I miss having a "mega" bookstore full of new books and trendy items.
So ... for my 50th birthday I drove over an hour to go to the nearest mega bookstore, Barnes & Noble. It was wonderful. I was only able to stay an hour-and-a-half but it was worth the drive. Even if I hate driving in the "big" city, the drive there was beautiful: sunshine, lush green grass, daffodils, and sheep. The most beautiful stretch of interstate you'll find.
As much as I loved the experience I tried not to buy too much. : ) It was so hard!
My favorite so far? I am a visual person and I believe this timeline book will help us see the big picture when it comes to world history.
Sayings:
One picture is worth a thousand words.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
