So this week has been bittersweet for me. With every trip to Borders I have found some lovely books to take home (that sadly, I would not be able to afford at list price), but it also hurts my soul to see all the empty shelves, the cafe tables and shopping baskets put up for sale.
I know that there is still a myriad of ways to read, find, and buy books, (and that Borders was a big bad chain store) but there was just something so nice about having them gathered together, with place to drink coffee, buy a cute card, listen to authors, and browse and browse and browse.
