I set myself a goal of reading at least 2 books a month. In July I managed to read 4 books, even though I had a ton of work going on. The difference was that I took my book along when I was traveling and did a lot of reading in the car (and no I wasn’t driving!). My last book was Celia Brayfield’s Deep France which is about her experience of moving to the Bearn region of France for one year. I’d never heard of this book or the author, but I really enjoyed reading this book and will definitely be looking up some of her other books. I go to Borders all the time, but never find interesting reading material there. I bought this at BooksPlus a small chain of bookstores, where I find something new and interesting without fail each time I visit. There is a certain charm in going to a small bookstore and as much as I enjoy Borders and Barnes & Noble, I love going to smaller bookstores to buy even more.
