Books, my other obsession

This weekend I traveled to New Hampshire to attend a Halloween party and on the way, I made a stop at Barnes and Nobles. The closest B&N to me is in Newington, NH which is about 35 minutes away. But I stopped at the Manchester B&N which is my hold "local" store. I don't even know how long I was in there, but it was hours before I surfaced and realized I was supposed to be at my sister's helping set up for the party.

I stopped in initially to buy the December issue of The Cross Stitcher as mentioned in a previous post. Vivians design is really adorable and there were several projects in the magazine that I liked. I bought two copies because I'm going to send one to someone as a gift. Since I was at the store, I figured why not look around because it's not often I get to be in B&N these days without a specific trip to Newington. I'm usually pretty good about getting books out of the library but my library here is not the greatest. So, I came home with:

• Absorbing Spongebob - Ten Ways to Squeeze More Happiness Out of Life by Steven Harriman (I LOVE Spongebob!)
• Waiting for Snow in Havana, Confessions of a Cuban Boy by Carlos Eire
• A House for Mr. Biswas by VS Naipaul
• Do They Wear High Heels in Heaven by Erica Orloff
• Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
• So Many Books, So Little Time, A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson
• Almost French by Sarah Turnbull
• Without Reservations by Alice Steinbach
• Living To Tell the Tale by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

With all these books, I'm really going to have to set up a rotation for reading and stitching!
