I couldn't help it... there is just something about a good bookstore... it gets me every time. I am a horribly inconsistent reader, as seen in my very sporadic book review posts, but I love books.
I spent the majority of my visit at the bookstore in the classic literature section, and came home with this...
...a beautifully loved copy of Chalres Dickens' A Christmas Carol & The Cricket on the Hearth. I love how the corners are frayed and the book cover is yellowed with age and probably about to disintegrate... the signs of a truly cherished novel.
Then, just as I was about to leave... I stumbled upon this row of books in the youth section...
...yep, that's right. The Baby-Sitters Club. I used to love these books! I think I had practically the entire collection. My generation grew up with these girls... Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, Dawn. Oh, and don't forget the Sweet Valley High twins... Jessica & Elizabeth Wakefield. Now that was some good reading!
And our common ground just keeps getting bigger! Loved all those growing up, but my students never even ask to check them out!
ReplyDeleteI looooooved the BSC! I used to watch the show on the Disney channel:)
ReplyDelete1. I want to visit that store.
ReplyDelete2. I loved Babysitters Club books. One day I'd want to be Dawn, another day Kristy...
3. Phone date soon?
I loved the Babysitters Club!!!!! What a cute store :) I will add that to my "Must-Do" Louisville list.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really into the Babysitters Club, but loved SVH books! Those are classic. Oh, and that book store reminds me of the one in "You've Got Mail" - small and quaint. Wish we had something like that.
ReplyDeleteI NEED to go to that bookstore.
