Home at last!

[beabibliophile]

Hello, my darlings, I'm back! Oh I'm so glad to be home, so very glad. Some pros and cons of my holiday:

Pros:
Beautiful museums
Beautiful loft
Dirt cheap books (got a first edition Elizabeth Barrett Browning for almost nothing)
Lot's of walking

Cons:
My father decided to shave the moustache he had for 40+ years
Hideous weather
No privacy
NO INTERNET

I did

That's you? I was thinking, who is this avid reader that I've never encountered before? Well, that clears it up. Love your reviews, dahling. Glad to be back.

And I promise that I'll review the first chapter of your story! Thank you so much for reading and laughing and validating me. What more could a girl want?

Hugs,
Bea

Where is this place of the cheapo first editions??? I'm very interested...

I went to New York City, so the shop was there. They had an autographed Anais Nin, and autographed Albert Camus, Isak Dinesen, ee cummings, Nabokov, and more. I wanted to cry because I was out of money at that point. So I got "Casa Guidi Windows" for about ten because it's all I had left.

OMG, heaven, heaven, heaven! I must rethink my aversion to long flights...

It was the tiniest shop--it felt like I was in a coffin--but entirely worth it. I want to fly back, just so I can buy more. I really don't like flying (the turbulence and the fact that my legs don't actually fit in the amount of room provided) but to visit that store again! My family is not the literary sort, so they didn't enjoy it in the least and kept trying to hurry me, but I wouldn't be rushed. I was going to sneak away but didn't find the time.
