Books for trade

I had another book swap a few weeks back. This was my take. (I also made some lovely lovely bookmarks.) And when all was said and done, we donated about 40 books to the Huntington Beach Public Library. Thanks everyone for the fun evening!

Simon loves my books, or rather loves lounging in front of them. He also likes walking on newspapers.

Also, this is what happens when you have people bring over books to swap...

(Also, I would like to point out that Simon's book pile includes Catch-22, William T. Vollman, Bros. Karamazov, and Lady Chatterley's Lover. It also has some cheesy historical mysteries too. Plus! My Name is Will!)

Book Party!

While I was stressing my way through June, Siel spent a productive month. And she capped it off with a book exchange last night. People have such eclectic tastes in books - the gamut ran from philosophy to Buddhism to memoir to sci fi. I came home with Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, a Pulitzer winner I've been meaning to read.

So thanks Siel for the fantastic party. And the idea - maybe I'll have a book exchange of my own.
