my father's daughter

We went to the closing out sale of Borders yesterday. It was a bittersweet moment. Though I'm happy to browse through books at cheaper price, I was also melancholic over the fact that another bookstore is folding up. I love books and bookstores are my sanctuary. I decided not to buy any novels as I can buy those through my Nook. I went straight to the cook books section to look for the two books in my wishlist: any barefoot contessa book, and Gwyneth Paltrow's book. I lucked out on the first (totally bummed) and got lucky on the latter.

A few pages into the book so far and it's been a heartwarming read. I can't wait to try all those healthy recipes!
