Books, Books and More Books

There’s nothing worse than snagging must read books…and then not reading them for ages. I finally scored Hessian Tapestry for a cost that was outrageously under priced than it normally goes for. Ordered it, and when it arrived, I lovingly scooped that baby right up into my arms and promised to give it the best home it will ever know. Several months later, it’s sitting there, unread. I discovered by accident, a signed copy of the memoirs of Prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark (Philip of Edinburgh’s uncle). This is my best score to date, and only twenty dollars out of my pocket for such a royal gem.

In my teeny tiny apartment, I've run out of book space and have started piling them next to the bookcase. This pile is for the books I haven’t read yet! I either have to move out of NYC or end up like the Collyer brothers in order to keep a book collection here.
