it's like turning pages..

i have an amazon wishlist (hint, hint). 
its pretty much all books.. actually it IS all books.
when the list gets too big or i just get too anxious that i can't wait... i make an order and get some books!! -sometimes im impulsive.
i ordered on sunday and they came by wednesday, nicely packaged and free of shipping costs :)
 The Catcher in the Rye: its one of those books people were forced to read in school yet i've never read it. i've been wanting to get it for two years now and every time im in a used bookstore i forget to look for it.
JailBird: I've heard good and bad things about kurt vonnegut's writing.. i'd like to choose what side i am on in this debate. One of the most deciding factors in ordering this book was sam who has an absolutely beautiful blog ashore. she so often mentions books or quotes and the meanings she pulls from these words  just makes me want to read anything and everything. 
Love Letters of Great Men: sex and the city? yes, this book was discussed in sex and the city before the book even existed. i've been looking for it for the past few months and im pretty sure every chapters/coles/indigo within 200km of my house was sold out of it (its not even new!). 
Before I go to Sleep: i read the back, it seemed like something I would like.
The Art of Seduction: this book is not actually for me, its for terry. he's read another book by the same author and liked it so this is the next one. *i opened it to read the first page and it looks pretty intense.. maybe not my type of novel.
Falling Together: i've read marisa de los santos' other book love walked in and i really loved it, something i was surprised about. i'll see if this one is just as good!
that was my excitement for the week. 
it is supposed to be a beautiful long weekend! even though i will be stuck in the mall working all weekend, many others can enjoy it!

  1. Chrissy, when I saw that you wanted to read Jailbird I was about to tell you it's my absolute favorite Kurt Vonnegut book - and then I saw you sweetly mentioned my blog! The beginning is a little historical (the last person I recommended it to had a hard time getting through it) but I love the characters in the end. So kooky and multifaceted.
