The Musing Monday meme, hosted at The Purple Booker, asks us to choose one of the following bookish prompts to muse about:
▸ I’m currently reading…There's also usually an extra, random, question to answer. This week's:
▸ Up next I think I’ll read…
▸ I bought the following book(s) in the past week…
▸ I’m super excited to tell you about (book/author/bookish-news)…
▸ I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…
▸ I can’t wait to get a copy of…
▸ I wish I could read ___, but…
▸ I blogged about ____ this past week…
Are there any songs that make you think of certain books or scenes from books? If so, which songs/books?So — the buying of books....
Well, I bought four books last week, all of them e-books, and all from Amazon. I really would prefer to buy more of my books from local independents, but there just aren't any of those around here. The only book store very near us is a Half-Price Books, and it's about a 45-minute drive away. Also, I've come to realize that I do read faster when I'm reading digital. So when I get a sudden book-buying notion, Amazon is pretty much my best choice.
Anyhoo, these are the books I bought:
● The Cat Who Played Post Office, by Lilian Jackson BraunNow if I could just settle down and actually read something....
● A Going Concern, by Catherine Aird
● Murder on the Orient Express, by Agatha Christie
● The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman
And for this week's random question — I can't really think of any books I associate with any specific songs or musical works. I'd be much more likely to connect music with movies or plays or TV shows. But then, I'm not very musical.
OK, that's enough musing for now. Happy Monday, everyone! And please feel free to leave me a link to your own Monday musings. I love to see what all the other bookworms are chomping on!
I love my local indie - too bad you don't have one nearby. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeletewe have a new indi b/store rather close by and I love it but we don't get there often. Half Price Books across the street gets more of our business. I absolutely love physical books but I find that I read faster on a device as well.
ReplyDeleteSympathise with the issue of indies, the only one around me now is soooo expensive
