Bookstore Refuge

01.01.11

Happy 1-1-11 blogging friends. I can’t believe the new year is already here. 2010 seemed to go by fast, but I’m happy that a new year is here and the possibilities for adventures are endless.

Today Scott and I are starting a brand new New Year’s day tradition, and I’m excited to share it with you later. For now though, I have an outfit post.
As some of you may have heard (or experienced yourself) the weather in Phoenix has been frightful. It’s been cold, rainy, and snowy for the past couple of days, such a change from the 70 degree weather we had on Christmas.

The other day it was pouring in Phoenix, just pouring, and Scott and I decided to take refuge in a local Barnes & Noble for some book browsing.

Growing up I went through phases where I would read a bunch, and then not read at all for some time. Nowadays I read when I have time (summers mostly), but still adore going to a bookstore and browsing their selection and picking out something that I hope to read soon. Growing up my dad and I always went to a Borders near my house and we would spend an hour at a time looking at magazines, and books. It’s one of my fondest memories of growing up.
Since it was pouring outside I also opted to wear my raincoat this day. I purchased it this summer when I was in Colorado in May and it was snowing. It’s made by Burton, and technically a snowboard jacket, but it works perfect for rainy days.

What is your favorite section in the bookstore? Do you sit and read magazines, or grab a book and read through parts of it?
