It wasn't quite the one pictured above, but it was a book store nonetheless!!! Sage and I wandered around looking at everything. Ok, so I was looking at everything. Sage was only happy because I said she could pick out a book. My quest today, was to find something that I can use for work. I need to come up with my own activities for my clients to do to accomplish their treatment goals. I have a couple of books that I've gotten at the library, but I just had to find one that I could buy. I think I found a winner. It was on the clearance table & could be used in primary, young women's, relief society, and work.
Of course, while on my hunt, I found some cute activity books that I can use with my kids to keep them reverent in church. (Or to keep me reverent in church.) I was happy to find a Hello Kitty sticker activity book, also on clearance.
Although I am grateful for the Idaho bookstores that I have found, I am extremely saddened by the fact that my favorite of all favorite bookstores is not located here. That would be......
I even sent the company an email requesting that they put a store in the greater Boise area. I even volunteered to be am employee! (I haven't heard anything from them, yet.) I love this store because I could always find something that was both wanted and affordable. And I could sell them the ones I didn't want/like. Which, of course, led to more buying.
My absolute favorite was a little place in German Village (Columbus). I have gotten lost there several times. There are a multitude of rooms to browse. Enough to occupy a bibliophile for hours or days. I was able to wander it's wonderful, little rooms and climb/descend it's labyrinth of little stairways one last time before moving with my mother. Sigh. I guess it is better to have loved & lost, than never to have loved at all.
I think I need to open a bookstore!!!
