Over the years, I have kept a mental list of books I would like to read after I graduate from college. I tried leisurely reading while in college, but it did not work out. I always would begin a book and then say " Oh, I'll read a couple of pages tonight." I would never finish the chapter I had always intended to finish, and that little burden was constantly at the back of mind. This happened when I began reading Eat Pray Love, The Great Gatsby and the biography of Pablo Picasso
This May I finally graduated and wanted to begin reading Gone Girl. I bought the book in March of this year, read the first two chapters, and put it back on the bookshelf. Now I am almost halfway through the novel! It is a great a read, and really keeps your attention. I have stayed up past my normal bedtime just to finish a chapter.
Last Friday, after having a nice breakfast with my boyfriend and his mom, we went to a bookstore called The Last Word. I have always been a fan of used bookstores, and was very excited when this store opened up a few years ago. While looking around the store, I found Mindy Kaling's I s Everyone Hanging Out With Me and Laura Esquivel's Like Water For Chocolate. I had been looking for these books for quite some time now, and was excited when I finally found them. To top it all off, I had enough store credit to pay for the books!
