I saw that you sell books. I’m a huge fan of the independent bookstoreâ€”too bad yours is located so far south, lol. 🙂

In my other life, I’d have been a bookseller.

i love books. i read books. i sell books. sometimes, if i see a need, i give books away. (but i always, always, always check the in/out-of-print status before i give a book away.)

some of my favorite books quotes:

“An ordinary man can…surround himself with two thousand books…and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy.” Augustine birrell

“A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.” jerry seinfeld

“an independent bookshop is evidence that people are still thinking independently” me

ROTFL… I need the plot. Prefer it actually, lol.

But yes, we’ll “rescue” them, lol.

Ooo… or maybe when the boy from across the sea moves, you two can take a nice little roadtrip and “see the sights.” 😉

hehehe… nora always has too much plot. i like a good sleazy romance where it’s just fluttering hearts and always the firey redheaded virgins… why is the virgin always a red head? and the evil chick is always like blonde? and the women who aren’t virgins are brunettes? but the guys are always… ALWAYS tall, broad shouldered, blue eyed and usually dark haired. sigh.

anyways… must rescue the romance novels uhm i mean, cookbooks… yes. cookbooks.

Wendy.. you and I need to take a roadtrip and rescue our books from the West coast. And rotfl about the “dashing rake undoing your corset top.” I lilke a good Nora Roberts myself. 🙂 But oh yeah, cookbooks. Yup, yup.
