Hitting the Books

I walked to my local library today, which is one of the many things I love about living in downtown St. Paul. Suburbia is great, I've lived there/done that. But I'm not sure I'll leave the city because everything I want on a day-to-day basis is a short walk away.

I have really fond memories of my parents taking me and my brother to the library every week to pick out new books to read. It was always exciting to me, being presented with shelves and shelves of books just waiting to be read. I still feel a similar thrill whenever I walk into a library, all these years later.





This is my official "Library Book Bag." For some reason, the capacity of this bag directly correlates to the number of books I can get through before their due date comes around. I've tried carrying other bags and it never works out the same. Weird, I know.





The clothes:
Navy linen dress- Old Navy
Purple belt- Target
Glass flower necklace- obtained via Accessory Swap with friends
Plaid tennis shoes- Converse All Star
Canvas tote with sailboat pattern- Target
Book- The Passage by Justin Cronin. I give it a B-.
