I try to still go to B&N or half price books once a month and just wander and take a picture of a book to remind myself to get from the library later because it looks interesting. That's probably as close as I come to spontaneous anymore which is a bummer.Bri @ Transported By Bookshttps://transportedbybooks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-76146931703439716622016-05-16T20:59:46.781-10:002016-05-16T20:59:46.781-10:00I've only read Outlander, but I liked it a lot...I've only read Outlander, but I liked it a lot.
