This and That

Friday arvo (that's Aussie for "afternoon") I spent some time shopping in the downtown district of Melbourne. I went into Big W which is very similar to a Walmart State-side. I had to take a look at the book selection. I have to say, I was a little bit disappointed as there wasn't much to choose from in my favorite genres.

I did see a few books that peeked my interest...only because I know I would not spend the time to read them. Shocking!


Eh, sorry Snooki: I won't be needing your advice on how to keep my skin that shade of orange.

Ozzy is pretty cool, this might not be so bad as long as it as read as strictly humor.
 There was also a moment of nostalgia in the book store when I saw this book:


The Babysitters Club books are still around! Before sexually active vampires hit the scene, girls could read books that were pretty darned wholesome and entertaining. I read quite a few in this series in the fourth and fifth grade. In fact, they helped me develop the love of reading I have today. Good times!

Just a few thoughts today...still working my way through A Visit From the Goon Squad.

Until next time,
Laurie
