My favorite place to get books...

I have said before that I love reading. But buying books can get expensive especially if it only takes about a week to finish them. Of course now in days who knows when I can finish a book. Either way I still attempt. I always have books stacked up on my nightstand. Along with buying books comes the book shelf. I have two book shelves to be exact. And I started having piles of books beside the book shelf. So I heard about a website called paper back swap. Basically you post 10 books that you would be willing to give away. And for just posting those 10 books you get 3 credits. For each book you send out you get 1 credit and each book will you cost you 1 credit. (There are audio books and such but those are a little more pricey in the book process). You don't have to trade with the same person, you don't have to use all your credits at one time. You pay for shipping when you send it to someone else, so when you get it it is free. Anyways if you get a chance to head over, check it out. I really like it.

Currently reading: He Who Wept: An epic novel of Jeremiah By: T. Lemmons

Just ordered off of Paper Back Swap (for later): The Confessions of Saint Augustine By: Saint Augustine translated by E. B. Pusey

If you like apples....

If you like apples, which I don't know who doesn't, there is an apple festival in Oak Glen. Russell and I go every year. It's lots of fun! You can pick your own apples, make your own apple cider. And there is usually a petting zoo, yummy apple baked goods. My favorite is apple butter (more like how they make peanutbutter then "butter"). Their apple cider taste so fresh you can almost taste the dirt off the peel. And trust me that is a good thing.

For more information on the Apple Festival click here.

Don't forget cherry season is May through Mid July. And lots of Strawberry Festivals in May.

ALSO stay tuned to visit the largest corn maze in Southern California!
