Chocolate mmmmmmmmm!

Chocolate is another source of great pleasure for me, and it only enhanced with a cup of tea, and of course a great book.  I think this activity truly hits all the right buttons for me.  No matter how bad my day was, this is the perfect way to relax.  Now I don't mind the wine in late afternoon or evening, but the tea and chocolate are the perfect compliment to each other.

Does anyone else share this wonderful addiction?

I read somewhere that all women love shopping for shoes, or for handbags, or for bath products.  Pick your poison.

I could maybe live without those three but the books and the chocolate  are a necessity of life.

What's your poison?

Summer

We are having an strange summer here in the Maritimes.  Hot and sunny days followed by cold and rainy cold days.

I think that everyone's taste is books is heavily influenced by a change in weather.  Our beach reads go out really well on hot and sunny days, but hardly budge on rainy ones, and the mysteries go out on the dark and wet days (among others).

Nobody likes a good summer read than women   Really women keep the library going.  Hey Sisters!!  They drive their kids to the program, check out the displays, and take out a lot of books.  Women are the risk takers.  Go team ladies!

Now guys are all about nonfiction or one favorite author, usually Michael Connolly, or James Patterson or another male author.  Of course there are exceptions,  and there are some authors which capture the attention of both sexes. 

Life in the library is seldom dull - no one would believe it unless they work there.   

Wine and books

This summer I have vowed to learn to like wine.  I live on a street where all the residents come out and invite you over for glass of wine, and I need to drink it to be more agreeable.  So I have taken the proverbial bull by the horns and have bought a full box (yes it's tacky) of Hochtaler wine (not the dry one).   

Surprise, surprise, I found myself enjoying it.  Since my husband drinks only Chardonnay, and I have often been given dry wines to drink, I am amazed that I am actually loving it.  

Looking forward to many afternoons drinking my wine and reading my library books.

Oh, by the way, the Spotlight section is going really well, and except for David Sedaris, I am predicting what a lot of our patrons are in the mood for.  I'll drink to that!
