RE: Market Friday Goes to the Bookstore
Hi, sweetie, I couldn't make this week for #MarketFriday, I guess it's one of the few, if any, times I missed it! But I've enjoyed seeing the markets of the world, and loved your post! I too love the smell of old books and the atmosphere of them, and sometimes the mystery around them. Whom have they belonged? Whose hands have touched them, which thoughts and ideas have they given to those who have read them? Have them made they cry, or smile? Here in ET, as there are no libraries and the bookshops are not worthy of the name, we struggle to get some reading. So some bars have a bring one, get one bookshelf of books and those are the ones I'm reading for a while. Some of them even have dedicatories, or are underlined, and I always wonder how they may have influenced those who have read them... "your" bookshop is wonderful and I loved the way you shared it! About my favorite book, I don't know where to start... But I really love the classics, and the one that comes to my mind is "The little women".
So, as I haven't made my post, here is one of my market favorite photo ever! It's a women at the floating market in Can Tho, Vietnam, at the Mekong delta! she was selling delicious pineapples!
This one I dedicate to you! Big hug and xoxo, my dear Denise! Resteemed!
How sweet of you!! You know I love the Mekong Delta and this is a wonderful shot, especially with the brim of her rice hat (I always remember them being referred to as coolie hats)
I have always appreciated the fact that you never miss #MarketFriday and even this week you come over to peruse! Yay! Thank you for being so kind and caring.
I feel the same way about books and I have always loved when I get a book underlined and little footnotes. I got a bible like that at a secondhand store and was fascinated by what this person found notable. I have bought many new books, but, the used ones usually rate #1 with me. I like to give new life.
Indeed. Little Women! Laura Ingalls Little House on the Prarie rated right up there too and Anne of Green Gables. I bet you liked Jo!!! ;)
I did, she was my favorite, yes! You know me well by now, sweetie! Thanks for your wonderful words, as always, my dear Denise! I'm truly happy to have you in my inner circle on Steemit! Big hug to you, luv!
