Okay, so you know how I mentioned my trip to Bart’s Books in yesterday’s Salon Post? Well, we did go to Bart’s and I did take some fabulous pics for the Spotlight on Bookstores post that I’ll be sending to Dawn over at She is Too Fond of Books sometime in July. However, what I definitely did not count on, was all of us getting hit with the same flu bug that hit my son last week.
Imagine me, in a bookstore surrounded by books. Bliss, right? Okay, now imagine me getting queasy around said books. Now imagine the Girl getting queasy and then the Hub. We had to cut the trip short and drive straight home. However, I did check to see if they had any of the books on my list and they did not. It was a sad day in Ti’s world.
When we got home, we all went our separate ways and took comfort the only way we knew how. The Hub took a nap. The Girl sat on the couch and zoned out on Phineas and Ferb and I crashed on the couch with The Link and My Cousin Rachel.
I am completely hooked on these books right now. They are completely different books yet so fascinating that I am actually alternating between the two of them every couple of chapters. So all was not lost. I still managed to spend the day reading and it turned out to be a good day for it.
By the way, we are all much better now 🙂

There can't be much worse than being sick in a bookstore! I hope you're feeling better now.
Well that sucks! Especially since you got sick on your weekend rather than a workday. Glad you're feeling better, though.
That's too bad. 😦 But just glad that you're better. And how lucky you can read when sick.. I can't! 😀
Glad you're better. And good you had those two to curl up with. I have been coveting both of them for awhile. The Link looks fascinating.
No fair that the flu bug hit you at a bookstore and your whole family! At least it was only a day and you're better now. At least you got to enjoy reading a few books!
Glad you are feeling better!
That's bad when the bug hits everyone. I'm glad you're all feeling better. I'm looking forward on your thoughts of My Cousin Rachel. I never did get that one but I've heard a lot of good things about it.
Glad you are all better! Too bad your bookstore trip was spoiled.
Sorry you had to cut your trip short, but glad that you guys are feeling better!
Ti…So sorry you were sick, especially on a book shopping spree. How sad. I am glad you are loving The Link. I have a contest for a giveaway for five copies on my blog. I think people missed it. I might have to post it again.
How do you like Rachel?
Wisteria – I am LOVING Rachel. I cannot put it down.
So Sorry to hear about bout with flu. It has hit our house with three of the girls this past week, also many of their teachers. Sure glad school is over with. Hope you love the The Shadow of the Wind.
whoa..I just know I'd be in denial if that happened to me.. but dang…looks like reality set in for you. Glad everyone is feeling better.
Ick! I hate being sick. Sorry you had to cut your visit short but glad you got in some extra time for reading.
