As i wandered into the building in our little town center i was amazed at how far things have come since i last stepped foot into one.
I was totally shocked at the 4 levels containing not only thousands of books but CD's, DVD's, Free computer Internet access. A huge kids area with a massive cushioned area to sit. An area to draw with crayons, and even a few toys.
On the bottom level there is even a small cafe with comfy seats where you can just relax or sit and read and have a cuppa. Brilliant.
Why have i never ventured in here before? I spent about 2 hrs in this place and came out with some fabulous reads. Here's what i picked up:
Makeup Is Art by Jana Ririnui & Lan Nguyen
When i spotted this book i was really excited as I'd heard it was a great book. It only took a quick flick through to see how amazing and inspirational this book is. Take a look at a few of the stunning makeup looks:
Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual
Bobbi Brown are known for creating beautiful looks. I thought this would be an interesting read so quickly snapped this up.
Face Up Ruby Hammer & Millie Kendall
The Green Beauty Bible Sarah Stacey & Josephine Fairley
After my trip to the library i sort of got a bit carried away with the whole book thing and started looking around book shops in town. I'm a bit like that in the all or nothing category ha. Anyway I'm glad i did as i stumbled upon this next book reduced to just £2.
Lessons of a Lipstick Queen Poppy King
I thought I'd have a little read last night of this and i couldn't put it down. It's such an inspirational story where Poppy King tells how she started her company aged just 18 with a love of lippy.
I'm going on holiday on Saturday and will be taking some of my books with me. Are you a big reader and have you read any of these books?
As a librarian I totally completely approve of this post. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteLove this post, I enjoy reading but haven't read any of those books...yet! xx
ReplyDeleteI have a library not far from me too, it may be worth a look, these books look fab! xx
ReplyDeleteMy life would be a very black place indeed were it not for libraries! Whenever I move house I find the Dr, the Dentist and the library! I read around 2 or 3 books a week and couldn't in my wildest dreams afford to buy them! Have never read a beauty book in my life though!! You have inspired me to check out the non-fiction area in my library now! x
