The spring semester is almost over, and I can’t wait the
summer vacation. I am going to Japan to
see my family and very excited about it.
Although I am in the middle of study for my final exams and paper, I
can’t resist checking what’s going on in Japan, planing where to go and what to
do, sending emails to my friends I haven’t seen long time, and of course thinking about
what books to buy. I am planning to go
to some big bookstores, like a whole building with many stories is a bookstore.
I can spend a whole day in this kind of
bookstore. I will spend many days in
bookstores. Oh, I am daydreaming.
On the other hand, I am kind of sad that I will miss out the
FLH Annual Booksale at Mckinley high school this year, which takes place from June
21 to 29, because I will be still in Japan.
I love this book sale and go every year.
There will be lots of books from many kinds of genres in a high school
cafeteria. The first 2 days are weekend,
so there will be lots of people, but also lots of good books, which mean
popular books, books lately published, rare books, etc. The last 2 days are also weekend, and they
will give you a big discount, but there will not be much good selection
anymore. I usually go on Monday morning
because there are still many books left but not many people. I can look around, pick up some, and read a
couple of pages. It is hard to do in a
crowded space.
This year, I am going to ask my husband to look for some
books for me, so I was making a list today.
I checked my bookshelf to see what I already have so that I can avoid any
duplication. I also checked literature-map to try some authors who I might like but have never tried. I spent the whole day checking books today
and was happy. Now, I got to go back to
the reality and study for the tomorrow’s exam…
