It’s a great feeling to run your hands down rows of books, looking for the one you want to read and take home with you. I sometimes make lists when I go book searching, but mostly I let the books find me. We both agreed that we do judge books by their covers. I did find two books Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping and Katherine Hannigan’sIda B. I had a small list with me, mostly books that other bloggers mentioned or suggested. One of my favorite bloggers Alicia P. always mentions the book Little, Big by John Crowley and I was shocked when I couldn’t find it. If you have ever been to The Book Barn you would be shocked as well if you can’t find a book. They have five large barns filled to the brim with over 350,000 books,t and his doesn’t include all the bins, small carts, and sheds.

    >Oh my goodness I know this place! I'm originally from CT and though I've never been my Mom was telling me about this great barn that is converted into a book shop. I didn't believe her about how great it is but now I see that it is! In fact, before moving I left a bunch of books with her to bring to them–now I know where they ended up! Great series!
