Light Boxes

Light Boxes, a novel by Shane Jones, is what I'm currently reading. It's very different from anything I've read before, but I am enjoying it very much. One of the reasons I picked it up in the bookstore is it's cover. I love the design and the pops of saturated color that appear. The illustration is done by Ken Garduno and the design and lettering of the cover is done by Paul Buckley.

After I'm done reading it, I'll try to write up a coherent review. No guarantees that it will be good, but I'll try my best. For now, here's an image from the cover.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Even though this has been out for a while now I still thought I'd share it with you. It's a wonderful stop-motion film based on Roald Dahl's novel. I highly recommend it!

Kindle Commercials - Stop Motion

I most likely will never invest in an electronic reader just because I love actual books, but these commercials are so cool!
I love stop motion.

Unsurpassable Places

There's always that one place that you can't resist going in when you walk past it. For me, this addicting place is the Antiques Store. Nothing pleases me more than going inside and seeing the organized clutter and walking around on the old hardwood floor that creaks with every step. In the corner on the right, there's an entire briefcase of glass eyeballs. In the side room, there's a collection of Civil War military caps. And the postcards!

Another odd place I love to go in is the luggage store. There's something about different varieties of luggage set in one place.

And the last place I can never pass up an opportunity to go in is the bookstore. Barnes & Noble is my ultimate favorite. :) Just last week I used up the last of the money on my giftcard to buy one book. Somehow, that one book translated into three purchases. In all, I bought three books. I just couldn't restrain myself.

Do any of you have places you can't pass by on the street?
