Books in the Wild

“I cannot live without books”.

-Thomas Jefferson

If you’re reading this blog you are probably an incurable book lover.  You can’t walk by a bookstore without going in, you’ll never have enough bookcases and you never leave home without a book. It’s ok, you’re among like-minded friends here and in spite of our collective fear of finishing a book and not having that next one in hand, we hang onto the  faith that we’re never really far away from that next book. Here are just a few of the interesting places we found books.
