After a long  time I went to the Main  Library here..I love going to that place ..the pillar  columns at the entrance itself tell you all what is valued..there are  all those book quotes which I cant resist to stop and read..every  time..
 Inside,  its a  cool and big space with chairs to sprawl on with your individual book  piles ..there are discreetly placed 'recommendations' , some 'specials' ..  its like heaven for me..for any book reader..
 Anyway, I usually  order and call on my books to be delivered to a nearby library , which is  smaller but quite convenient..So with unexpected time on hands I walked to the  library today,and though I didnt mean to - I picked up 4 books and couldnt even  wait/risk putting them in the online queue..I had to lug them back so far  away..right now :) .. My precious loot :
 The Robber  Bride, by Margaret Atwood - I must confess I am not an Atwood fan, I  somehow havnt 'got' her ..Ive read couple of her books..but this jacket  description was too powerful ..
 The Almond  Picker , by Simonetta Hornby - Interesting name and book jacket  description
 I,The Divine  , by Rabih Alameddine - Who can resist a book all in First chapters !  and Ive read and loved his narrative style in 'The Hakawati' ..this should be  good..
 Getting  married, by Theresa Alan - My guilty pleasure - a cleverly  written(hopefully) chick-lit
