Book Brewing!
Filed Under Book Reviews | Leave a Comment
Ahhh! The smell. The aroma. The anticipation. Where do I start?
Look at all the rows and rows of bookshelves! A book lover’s paradise!
Yes, I treated myself to a rarity today!
Now I love a cup of coffee and the Starbucks section in Barnes & Noble was talking to my nose. The coffee beans were enticing, but with the weather approaching ninety degrees outside (it reached 100 degress today by the way), I just enjoyed the aroma and kept on stepping towards the first stack of books that caught my eye. Now I had no business eyeing the discount books, because I already have two or three STACKS of unread books waiting for me at home. But I looked anyway. You never know when you find a bargain!
I am an Internet junkie and over the past few years Amazon.com and Christianbook.com have become well-worn bookmarks in my browser. Various publishers have supplied me with books galore to review for them. With books always at my fingertips, I rarely enter a library unless I’m doing research for a project. Physical book stores – whether Barnes & Noble, Waldenbooks or Books-A-Million – visiting these stores is a favorite pastime that beckons me.
Similar to how a sports fan gets ready for the big game, my stride is anticipatory and confident in finding a winning combination for my eyes to behold. Believe me I can spend some time in the bookstore. Patiently I drag my finger across the spine of the books. The titles call to me. Pick me. Pick me. After scanning the table of contents, I quickly flip through the pages. Turning the book over I carefully read the description. Nah! Not this one. Next. Next. Finally, I find the book that beckoned me to the store in the first place. Ok, I exaggerate! But this author may provide some insights to a situation. Better yet, this novel might be good enough to keep me up all night! Off I go to the register.
Oh, but I was good today. The books I have at home will keep me content for a while, but I did find a great one for my sister. I also found a great one for my co-worker.
Hey, an avid book lover is commissioned to pass a good book along! It’s like sharing a good pot of coffee with a friend.
