The other day I had lunch with two friends at a delicious spicy noodle restaurant called Tan Tan and we discussed a bit of “The Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett. Both of these ladies are much further along than me in this almost one thousand page book and were afraid of letting out any spoilers for me. I got very excited about their passion for the book and how much they love reading it as I do. We’ll see what kind of dent I can cause over the weekend before heading up to Kyoto on Mainland Japan for a long Valentine weekend starting on Wednesday.
I am happy to announce that my TBR shelf has some new books on it. I received a gift certificate from one of my best friends here in Oki (Thanks Angie) to Borders and my box arrived yesterday. In it were the following titles:
Planet Books 
I just love getting gift cards for book stores – oh the possibilities!
