Soon another birthday will leap upon me and savage some more of my youthful loveliness from about my person (sob). I find this time of year so damn depressing (stomps foot).
However, I recently discovered another super blog, “Awful Library Books”, that has helped to lift my spirits, although some of the posts have been rather upsetting (whimper).
This book,

and this:

in particular, have left a lump in my throat.
I shall have you know that these books were actually published in 1986 and 1987, but things were different then… Well they were, weren’t they?
OHMYGOD!

The Body Shop - Born Lippy™ Satsuma Shimmer, Passion berry and Pomegranate Lip Balm
Philips ReAura (Part 1)
Is there an app for this?

Fear not sweetie – these books only apply to the people who would actually go to the library and borrow them – which clearly takes a certain type of desperation to which you would never stoop. t.x

Teena dear,
You are so right! I would never stoop so low as to attend a public library, not when there is a perfectly good book shop on the corner!

But what if you buy a book you end up hating?! I find the library to be a type of smart shopping. You try on the shirt. You test drive the car. You make the au pair work for food for the first week. The same with books; it’s another way to be a recessionista, no?

Amber dear, you are right (stomps foot). I am a recessionista – I forgot. I am off to the library forthwith…
