I bought a new book (boring alert)


My amazing sister took me to a small town north of Stinson Beach this past weekend, and I bought a book. I don't know why it was at the used book store. It's brand new! Maybe it's just my projecting that makes me believe people can't get rid of books without reading them.

Anyway, I bought it for two reasons:
1. It's not about owls, but the title is "Owls Do Cry" and you know how I feel about owls...even in mention.
2. The prologue is this:
"Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry;
On the bat's back I do fly,
After summer, merrily."
-The Tempest

Now let's just hope it's a good read. I know nothing about it outside of these things, and I don't think I'll look anything up online. I'll just let myself be surprised.
