A world record in "book domino" - I love books!

I love books!  I love the feeling of holding a book in my hands while getting so deep into a story that I feel a part of the story. I also love the smell of a book and the anticipation before reading a new book and the sad feeling when I close the book after reading the last page.

After spending my Summers in NYC my friend always asked me if I had bought some cool clothes, well they stopped after always getting this answer "no, but I have like 10-15 new books I want to read :-)

So it might not be that weird that I am posting this video from a book fair in Antwerp, they made a new world record with a 6 minutes  "book domino" that ended up in fire works.

I especially love the part were the word books falls, isnt the world a amazing Place....



Not the best quality in the photo, but have a look at the video (that do not take 6 min)

My day in Cambridge

 


After a long breakfast and some American tv, I made a sandwich for lunch and headed down to Harvard Square. After some shopping  a scarf and three books, I am such a nerd. I even got hit on in the book store!!!
 
 

 
 
I found a nice bench in this park outside of Peet's Coffee house where  I enjoyed my lunch, watched the people and listen to a street musician.




 
Peet's has a lovely Jamin tea.
 
 
 

 
 
 
On my way home I stopped in Cambridge Common and read for an houre in one of my new books and just enjoyed the nice weather and people watching before heading home for a snack and then heading out again for  my very first pedicure and my second manicure. So now my hands and feet are ready for the Wedding this weekend in the Berkshires.

An old fashion way of saying that someone is handsome

I have to admit that I some times enjoy an episode or two of the American crime drama series about a forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and a FBI agent, Seeley Booth that solves crimes in the area around Washington D.C..
I just love the cemistry between the two main caracters and how they interact. I can not and will not deny that I find  "Booth" extremely handsome and charming and I just love the way "Bones" describes him as "pleasing to look at".
I find this old fashion way of saying that someone is handsom most agreeable and charming.
It might come from my love of reading old classic novels and dramas as Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensebility and Little Women.
