Book Lovers Day

August 9 is the National Book Lovers Day. What are you doing to celebrate? I’m celebrating with my current read, Soft Hearted Stories. Though I may pick up a copy of Cat’s Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s currently on hold at the local library, waiting for me. Books are insanely cheap. Consider the price, the time it takes to consume, the enrichment of your life.

They’re the best.
