Keeping my incredibly easy promise to find a book at each of the stores on girlchild’s tour, here are the three lovelies I took home from girlchild’s journey through the Pacific Northwest with stops at The Palace of Industry and Powell’s, in Portland, and Elliott Bay Book Company, in Seattle:
-a magically old edition of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, the inscription is dated from a grandfather to his grandchild in 1903
-an Elmore Leonard collection, When the Women Come Out to Dance, like a shot of warm machismo on a rainy night
-Kevin Sampsell’s memoir, A Common Pornography, is next in my reading queue, which means it is traveling with me to Reno, San Diego, Los Angeles, and back home again!
