![]() ![]() ![]() Can you tell where I’m headed? This is one of my favorite books. Or you can snag a book in about 30 seconds that you have a vague inkling of and it rises to your favorite-books-of-all-time list before you’re even done with it. You can buy a book with stars in your eyes and plaudits ringing in your ears and be sorely disappointed. ![]() Two minutes to go? Alright then, in my hand, on the counter, and out the door.īooks are funny that way. More than one person in my writing group had recommended it, and I was pretty sure I had slid it into my TBR. Something caught my eye: a pristine paperback copy of George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo. I had maybe ten minutes in the shop, no internet access to speak of (in order to look at my list of books-to-read-next/TBR), and so found myself in front of one of the fiction shelves, zoning out while staring at the books displayed on top. There were two used book stores on the same street and, although unfamiliar with the area, I was compelled down the street to get myself a book (and just be around all those books!) before doing the drive back home. I was headed to a pedicure with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and daughter and had about 20 minutes before my appointment to spare. I had packed the last two books in the Lord of the Rings series and then had devoured what was left of them. ![]()
