Book Picspam: old + new + borrowed + blue

Posted on 11:29 by simmo
(Nothing to do with weddings, so forgive the title.  I just love rhymes.)

Head over to Tanglewood for my review of Meditations

My next philosophy read.  This is a BRAND NEW edition and new library book to boot.  I get way too excited about that.

Good book, good movie - and Atticus!  Enough said.

Mom got me this notebook at Daiso (Japanese $1.50 store).  Isn't it gorgeous?  The sticky notes are also from Daiso, extremely reusable (ergo "green") and my favorite way to mark hard copies.

Trying to read these two tomes side-by-side.  Both extremely thought-provoking.

Going to Portland is an event for us, and we are going soon.  This is my revised list for Powell's...I have the budget for at most two of these, and I am definitely getting Evita if they'll still have it.

Summer has been quiet, but I'm staying busy, in a small way, learning this, that, and the other.  This has been a year of learning the obvious, and the obvious is not necessarily easy.  Certainly, the right books at the right time are blessings, for which I'm continuously grateful!

What books are on your mind this summer?
