Well, I had a very profitable birthday last week. I received four books as presents. Later, we stopped by a yard sale and I bought six Mary Higgins Clark mysteries at 5 cents each. Even later than that, I got to spend an hour inside Barnes & Noble just wandering. The last time I was in a book store was the week before Borders closed. The best part was the smell. I love the smell of a bookstore.
When I was fifteen, I couldn’t wait to get my license so that I could spend my afternoons working on homework and reading while drinking hot chocolate at the café in Borders. By the time I got my license, it had closed and that dream seemed unobtainable.
Anyway, I love bookstores, and I got to wander through shelves of books for the first time in years. Husband of mine let me pick out a book (Frankenstein), and I picked out a new notebook too! I’m saving it for the next book in the trilogy. Then I picked out a new bookmark, and on the next shelf over I found something that I have been looking for since December. I found 642 Things to Write About! I am so excited for that book. It has so many awesome prompts in it to help fuel my writing, so keep an eye out for those prompts in future posts!
