Not having had the chance to get into the pages of a good book since last October, I am feeling the urge to be still and read something page-turning. Most of the reading I’ve been doing, especially the past month, is of Travel Guides and tour brochures….train schedules, Restaurant Menus, City Maps, Gallery Exhibitin details, Bus timetables and of course price tags…of shoes & handbags no less!
