Goodbye, Seattle! Hello, Vancouver and Alaska!

I was going to queue a bunch of posts before leaving for my vacation but then I decided not to. It seems like a new trend going on in the blog world right now, to just be honest about when you're not really there. And honestly, posting when I'm not available to respond to comments to Tweets, or whatever, seems kind of strange and insincere.

I did ask over on Tumblr what I should read during my break and got some great answers. Unfortunately, those books must be pretty popular and wonderful because most were unavailable at my library. Rats. Instead, I'll be taking a bundle of things to read from my own collection and two library picks: If on a winter's night a traveler  and Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat. Have you read either? I'm looking forward to both quite a bit.

I also of course had to rush my Wallpaper City Guides: Vancouver copy through Prime because I called like nine local bookstores and none of them carried it. Womp!

So anyway, goodbye until August 14th, when I'll return to Seattle (probably a bit computer deprived).

I wish I had discovered this beautiful book more than 2 days before I left

This vintage ad for Alaska Airlines is so nice
