If you are in the Denver area, this is one of the coolest and best things about Denver - I think. I love this bookstore! After having my son and getting to take my first 'mommy break', I didn't pick the hair salon or a spa treatment - I picked up a big book at Tattered Cover, found a big chair to sit in back in some section on the 3rd floor, and read. Absolute heaven.

Yesterday, I went again ... and I wandered around and found a few new books to keep me entertained for a bit:

The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of the Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl (by Timothy Egan)

(It was recommended in the Atlantic Monthly, sounds really interesting, and of course, will hit home as I grew up in this area and have heard both sets of grandparents speak of it. One grandma remembers using a rope to get from the house to the barn and back.)

A Stronger Kinship: One Town's Extraordinary Story of Hope and Faith (by Anna-Lisa Cox) and Saturday (by Ian McEwan)

I also bought Marley and Me for my girlfriend in New Mexico. I haven't read it, but have heard great things about it - and hopefully it will be something she will enjoy.

This is the lamest post ever, but dammit, I'm a Book Worm and it's my blog!!

So there!
