I took a walk in the West Village last weekend, exploring my new neighborhood for the summer and its local digs: Magnolia's, bookstores, and the such. It was so peaceful, and with my old straw fedora and sandals on, summer really felt like a friend indeed. I found myself in BookBook, a fantasticly inexpensive local bookstore, and walked away with some goodies...

ohhh! i would love to read this...I read Runaway by Munro a few months back and really liked it :)
ReplyDeleteThere are few things better than finding a great local bookstore.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE me some Munro. The woman is a genius...and I like your image linking the straw hat with summer. It feels just right.
ReplyDeleteJe suis tres jalouse! I love the stroll you're talking about - have indulged in so many cupcakes and book purchases, and so much window shopping and side street meandering... Ah, I miss NYC.
