Much like I never tire of hearing how people meet one another, I could sit for hours and listen to how one comes across a good book to read. A Brownie and Book Club Babe mom, Miss Toni, and I were discussing books via email. She mentioned The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I purchased this book last summer at Afterwords Bookstore for my teen neighbor with the understanding I could borrow said book, but as to date, I am still waiting. So, I felt a visit to the local bookstore, Afterwords Bookstore, needed to be added to my to-do list (any excuse works for me).

Although I had a purchase in mind as well as a book to pick up, Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street (which I inquired about through e-mail and received a response the same day from LuAnn, the owner- customer service at its finest), I like to walk on the wooden floors and roam between the rooms of books.
