Sällsynt fågelsång och en hel hög böcker

Har precis kommit tillbaka från en dagsresa jag gjort ett antal gånger förr. Fast när solen skiner och fåglarna kvittrar och hela väskan var fylld med böcker jag då kan jag verkligen inte klaga.

     Den här gången släpade jag med mig en "studiebok" som är Boating for beginners av Jeanette Winterson, Harry Potter (bok nummer 3) och vad jag trodde var The small hand av Susan Hill men visade sig vara The woman in black. Så här har njutits, lästs, druckits kaffe och lyssnats på fåglarna.

Det slutade med att jag läste om The woman in black och halva Boating for beginners. Att läsa om spökisen så här bara en månad efter att jag läst den för första gången, gjorde den faktiskt bara ännu bättre.

Better World Books håller vad de lovar

Den eminenta och nyupptäckta bokhandeln lyckas med vad de flesta andra e-bokhandlar inte klarar av, att leverera böcker till Argentina. Tog lite över fyra veckor att få hit böckerna och min lycka är nu väldigt stor. Visst är böckerna lite använda men för 60 kronor, inklusive frakt tycker jag att detta är ett fantastiskt kap.  

Brevskrivande böcker.

Better world books, bokhandeln som jag hittade häromdan och som även Enligt O tipsade om, vet verkligen hur de ska tillfredsställa sina litteraturälskande kunder:

Hello Lingonhjärta

(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)

Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!

I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?

I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana. 

But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:
