I found out about Vintage Books through a tutoring event that my work hosted and Vintage Books had donated some books for people to take home with them. On Friday I finally had a chance to check them out for myself. I fell in love with this place immediately. It has a very strange and appealing charm to it that captivated me and made me not want to leave. I scored two books from Vintage books for only $3.79! So fortunately for me, one of those books was "The Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis! The particular copy that I bought was printed in 1970 and on the inside actually has someone's name in it and is dated 1972. I find these books to be such a treasure; its a strange phenomenon that just by holding a book you can feel part of another time period. I would encourage all of you to visit this local book shop...keep them open! Here is a link to their site where you can find their address: http://www.vintage-books.com/
Hey guys! Well since my name has already been announced in the previous blog post I guess I need no introduction ;) My name is Tanya and I consider myself to be a good friend of Vicky's. We met a few years back through my sister because she kept talking about a funny, nice girl named Vicky. To see for myself what all this rave was about I met her. But you know what's funny? I cannot remember the day we really talked or when we became such good friends. It just happened. Just like that. If I had to describe Vicky in one word, one of the first words that pops into my head is genuine . She is that person you can talk to with whatever is on your mind, someone you can turn to when you have questions, and definitely someone who will not judge but be there to guide you and offer help. And I am so thankful for that. Looking back, I can see that our friendship developed rather spontaneously (or maybe I just have bad memory lol). But I do see now that God orchestrated this friendship...
