~ book stores

(Jan 28/09) Oh, how could I forget my love of book stores. All kinds of places that sell books, really... although there is something special about a used book store because you never know what kind of treasures you might score as you wander. I have to be very careful going in to book stores, and not take very much money... as I am always tempted to buy.

I used to have a huge collection of books. When I moved, I always had two boxes of kitchen stuff, a couple suitcases of clothes, and 8 boxes of books. Heavy, big boxes. I've tried to downsize and just keep reference books on songwriting, writing, the history of music, singer's biographies, etc. And, of course, piles of music books.

What's even better than a book store is the local local JB Coffee & Book Store. There I can indulge in coffee and reading. And also, they have live music nights on Fridays. I've played there often.
