I adore The Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley:

http://www.penguinbookshop.com/


A couple years ago the Penguin Bookshop wasn't much (though it's been around for 80 years). It was one tiny level that carried almost nothing. Then the owners sold it to a local wealthy couple who closed it for about a year and reopened last year.


It's freakin amazing. It's TWO levels and they carry so many different kinds of books and new releases. It's almost as great as Barnes and Noble and I love the fact that it is only 5 minutes away. Their YA section isn't huge BUT they carry the latest YA books so I am usually able to find whatever I'm looking for. If not, they order the book for you and it comes in pretty fast. I love being able to drive only 5 minutes away to pick up a book. It's also right across the street from Starbucks, but word has it that they're looking into installing their own coffee section.

When I first walked in after the renovation, I was floored. I didn't want to leave. It's spacious and colorful and comfortable. I love it. :)

Also, "The Penguin Bookshop is the first green independent bookstore in the country." :)

I don't care as long as you don't make me a part of The Body exhibit.

And....no

I'm seeing Valkyrie on Christmas Day. I get too excited every time I see the commercials. It's kinda ridiculous to get excited over seeing a WW2 movie on Christmas that doesn't even have a happy ending, but that's me, LOL

I also want to see Frost/Nixon, Gran Torino, Tale of Despereaux, Marley and Me and Revolutionary Road. Somehow though, I think Valkyrie is the only movie I'll get out to this month.

I can't think of anything that's coming out that looks so bad I wouldn't see it if you paid me. I'd probably see almost anything if you paid me, but it would also depend on how much you were paying, lol

I'll Fly Away (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101124)

*sniffles* I wish they'd at least put it on DVD, like they do everything else. I absolutely LOVED that show. Awesome cast (gotta love pre-Law & Order Sam Waterston, heh), awesome story.

They put so much crap on DVD and yet they can't put a great show like that out there for people to buy? How dumb.
