Oh! So Many Books

Whenever I go into a store, library, or any place where the are a collection of books I want to read them all, look in them all. Reading has taken me to so many different places, era's, and worlds how can you not love reading.

I buy books from everywhere and gladly have no problem looking in the free bins. My latest read came from the Dollar Store. I have collected several great reads for only a $1. The title was "A Cup of Friendship" by Deborah Rodriguez,   the story of a remarkable coffee shop in the heart of Afghanistan, and the men and women who meet there — thrown together by circumstance, bonded by secrets, and united in an extraordinary friendship.  I am so glad to be a woman in America, that's what this book made me feel the most. It's about friendship but it also deals with the harshness that the women of that country must live through.

My current read is The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. It's okay but not a page turner. I picked this book because I liked the cover. I remember getting letters in the mail. I still have a collection in my scrapbook. One dates back to 1974 from my best friend Terri. I also have letters from my mother who past away when I was 21. It's funny how as you get older you see things in the letters you didn't see before. Current technology has stopped this form of communication. I can't remember the last time I received a letter.
