Anyways! After talking about it for months, Renae and I drove up to Glenbrook to visit a new second-hand bookstore run by a retired librarian (come on, wouldn't you want to go if they told you that?). It was completely worth going out in the heat, though in all fairness it asn't as hot as it has been (I think it reached 34 degrees C).
We spent an hour or so wandering around and:
- if you are a parent/husband/someone: we bought nothing then turned around and drove homeB
- if you are anyone else: picked out some pretty books and snuck them home ;)
It was actually a really nice little store (which picture WOULD have shown), a decent size with a good range of books. Best of all, it's reasonably easy - revisit!
My happy little pile:
In case it's not readable:
- Ya-Yas in Bloom - Rebecca Wells
- The Other Boleyn Girl - Phillipa Gregory
- Anne of Windy Willows - L.M. Montgomery
- Anne's House of Dreams - L.M. Montgomery
- Capture the Flag (ST: TNG - Starfleet Academy #4) - John Vornholt
- Loyalties (ST: TNG - Starfleet Academy #10) - Patricia Barnes-Svarney
- Matilda - Roald Dahl
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl
- Jessi's Secret Language (Babysitter's Club #16) - Ann M. Martin
- Mary-Anne's Bad Luck Mystery (Babysitter's Club #17) - Ann M. Martin
- Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen
(and for those of you playing at home, I now only need Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside in the green hard back books to compete the Anne of Green Gables set!)
