Buy Indie Day (Loot)

In honor of last week’s Buy Indie Day, I purchased two books from Vroman’s. What’s interesting about the purchase is that I didn’t know that Vroman’s even had online shopping. How cool is that? Here’s what I purchased:

Caspian Rain by Gina Nahai

Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo

I first heard of Caspian Rain at the Festival of Books while attending one of the fiction panels. I had never heard of Gina Nahai but the panel discussion intrigued me so I decided to pick it up. Bridge of Sighs is my book club’s pick for August so I thought I better pick that up too. What I totally forgot to buy was The Boneman’s Daughters! That is what I wanted to purchased in the first place. Oh well, I’ll pick it up next time.

40 Years is a Long, Long Time

Today is my husband’s 40th birthday and we are spending it at Disneyland! There’s just something so magical about Disneyland. We’ll spend the day hitting all the rides and soaking up the Main Street atmosphere ( I love Main Street) and then for dinner we will celebrate at the Rain Forest Cafe. We’re spending the weekend down here so tomorrow we’ll hit California Adventure! We are going to be full of churros, funnel cakes and caramel apples but so be it!

BTW, Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain. She’s so deliciously evil! I love how she peeks out that window in Sleeping Beauty’s castle. I heard that they remodeled the castle so I hope that feature is still there.

Chatting with friends about books and life…
