pickWell this book took me 10 months to read. I took my time with it. I did like the book, not one of my all time favorites but still a good read. I rated the book a 3 out of 5 stars.

While in Palm Beach over fall break, we visited this rare books shop on Worth Avenue, one of the richest shopping districts in the US. (This is the only store we went in, lol). This first edition of The Catcher in the Rye, unsigned, $11K. Word is there‘s a signed first edition of The Hobbit there for a cool $475K. Imagine!!
I saw this graphic about walking on Facebook and wrote about my experience with walking.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, ‘without pictures or conversation?'

NO SNOW!!! No matter how appealing it may seem in books, I just know I‘d end up like Amy, falling through the ice. 😆
Tagging anyone who wants to play!

Found this illustration of the funniest scene in the book. #whattheDickens
“[S]o neatly brought their own boat in the gentlest collision with the bark of Mr Sparkler, as to tip that gentleman over like a larger species of ninepin, and cause him to exhibit the soles of his shoes to the object of his dearest wishes: while the nobler portions of his anatomy struggled at the bottom of his boat in the arms of one of his men.”
I bought this gorgeous set of books last weekend (smelling of old books). The new owner of the shop hopes to get more of these editions from a man who is hoping his books go to a good home. I think these may replace my Oxford editions, which daughter has said she‘ll take.
Sadly I haven‘t been able to fit in the tagged book for #whattheDickens. Too many other book challenges. But I‘m looking forward to next month‘s book, The Old Curiosity Shop.
Books 136 through 147. I have been reading a lot of the sweethearts alphabet series by Suzanne Ash for an A-Z challenge. Plus, I have been busy downsizing and packing for my upcoming move.
