http://roomofbooks.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-books.html
A Room of Her Own. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. These are the last batch of books I recently purchased. I had promised myself that I wouldn't buy books for a while seeing as I had recently purchased books on Amazon, but Barnes and Noble was having a fantastic sale on their bargain books. I couldn't pass up the chance to buy these! The total cost for all twelve books was $42.who can say no to that? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Room of Her Own: October 2009
http://roomofbooks.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
A Room of Her Own. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. A Room with a View by E.M. Forster: Favorite Passages. George had turned at the sound of her arrival. For a moment he contemplated her, as one who had fallen out of heaven. He saw radiant joy in her face, he saw the flowers beat against her dress in blue waves. The bushes above them closed. He stepped quickly forward and kissed her.". I only wish poets would say this too: that love is of the body; not the body, but of the body. Ah! Sunday, October 25, 2009.

Books, and cats, and naps. Friday, November 15, 2013. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt: A review in Two parts. Part One is here. I read Donna Tartt's The Secret History. A few years ago and loved it.

Oh, and there's also a painting. Every fucking post.get out of my life! I think the power of the Vegas bit of Goldfinch. Does to m...

http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/08/battlebornno-not-that-battle-born.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Friday, August 23, 2013. Battleborn.No, not THAT Battle Born. If you were one of my former Goodreads friends, you may have read this review already. Well, here's a spruced up version I wrote for my monthly staff pick at the store in an attempt to actually sell the damn thing. I agonized over this review the first time.and I agonized over it again the second time. Anyways, here it is. By Claire Vaye Watkins. Just hear me out, okay? For some phenomenal writing. Bonus: if you watc...

Third Place Blog: June 2014
http://blog.thirdplacebooks.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Welcome to the official blog of Third Place Books. Friday, June 20, 2014. MY LIBRARY IS ALIVE! My library has a mind of its own. I guess all of this is to tell you that during the culling and the subsequent rebirth of my library, I have unloaded tons of books at Third Place. All good books, but just stuff I'm not interested in anymore. And that's the beauty of used books; buy them, read them (or in my case, don't read them), sell them back, and buy all new books with the credit. Thursday, June 19, 2014.

I moved on to the next book my friend read and would not stop recommending. Americanah. By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I barreled through it, until about 45 pages from the end. At that point, I pu...Is a ...

Third Place Blog: Indulgence, Thrift, and Generosity
http://blog.thirdplacebooks.com/2015/03/indulgence-thrift-and-generosity.html
Welcome to the official blog of Third Place Books. Friday, March 27, 2015. Indulgence, Thrift, and Generosity. Occasionally, a favorite author will have a new book out, or there's some awesome NYRB title that I HAVE to have, and I just cannot track down a used copy. That's when I really have to up my trade-in game. But there's something beautiful and satisfying about that too. My inner simple-living-master revels in trading in five old books for one, beautiful, new, truly desired book. Series, I was tryi...
