I am addicted to books. The worst thing you could possibly do to me is take me to a bookstore when I'm broke. Or I just didn't bring my money. Or I already bought food. Or the books are expensive. Taking me to a bookstore when I cannot buy a book makes me very sad.
I brought one book with me and that was for my seven hour layover in Turkey. (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants btw). Books here are expensive. Plus I don't want to buy a bunch of books because when I'm done they're just gonna be a waste of space. I didn't know if there was a library and if they had English books so I just downloaded books on my phone and read on there.
In class, or should I say in school, I am not allowed to use my phone. Therefore I cannot read when I am sitting in an Arabic taught class. Also I really missed the book as a whole. The pages, seeing the majority of pages shift from your right hand to your left, the feeling when you hold it and turn the page. I mean I love books. Almost more than reading if I'm going to be honest.
Well it turns out... My school has a library. (Omg duh Corie). I know, I know. What school doesn't have a library. Now, I will admit, the library wasn't massive. There were like ten shelves, if that. And the selection wasn't incredible. But they have like ten different Stephen King novels and the Harry Potter series, so my life is good. I checked out my first book and now I feel complete once again.
Which do you like better, ebooks or book books? I prefer book books as you can tell but as I once heard someone say "it doesn't matter as long as you're reading."
Also Arabic books are backwards and it's weird. Stay beautiful.

How is the weather now?
