Today was a beautiful day in Seattle. Sunny and just the right fall temperature for a great walk. So I walked on down to Third Place Books in Ravenna. It’s about a 40 minute walk from my house. I could have taken the bus, but I would not have been able to take these great pictures on the bus:

Sunshine! The gray hasn't bothered me yet, but I do notice I appreciate the bright sun when it makes an appearance! It was a beautiful fall day.

There is an apartment complex nearby called Raleigh Court!

I love this wall covered in beautiful green moss.

Third Place Books is a great bookstore, with used and new books. There is also a coffee shop AND bar. What more does one need?

I spent a good deal of time perusin’ and cruisin’ and finally settled on three purchases:

A Million Little Pieces This is my current bus book. I used to do my reading for class on the bus, but the sometimes long papers I have to read in really tiny print have started making me kind of sick on the bus (I think I’m starting to have eye problems…need to do something about that haha…) so I’ve picked A Million Pieces as my current bus reading because a) I have the paperback and don’t have to lug around a big heavy thing like HP7 and b) I feel like it is acceptably intellectual enough that any potential cute boys will not pre-judge me for reading Twilight.

Anyone have recommendations? Also on my to-red list that I don’t have my hands on yet are The Wind Up Bird Chronicles, After Dark, and East of Eden.
