My Book Party

For years, I had let this book buried in one of my moving boxes. Tonight, I finally have a chance to read the first few pages, only to discover that this book isn't a fictional thriller that I thought it was when I bought it.  Yes, I remember buying this book from the bookstore while waiting to meet my date there.... This book is actually a non-fiction about a real fraud case that inflicted billions of dollars of losses on a lot of pension funds, (government's included), charities, individual investors, etc. etc. A few pages in, I had  read that for 9 years, the author had been working with a team to bring the Madoff investment ponzi scheme to the attention of the SEC's attention (a government's wall-street) but failed... So, the old adage that my grandparents always chanted: "Don't depend on the government!" is true.

I enjoyed reading this single issue magazine that is dedicated to container gardening.  I love that this magazine has no ads.  I never took an interest in gardening because I grew up in tiny condo in the city.  I have no idea why I bought this magazine.  I think I bought this gardening magazine while waiting at the grocery store's checkout line.  It was just one of those impulsive purchases.  The beautiful photos inside the magazine are quite inspiring and they make me want to  have some pots of flowers in my apartment.  But after flipping through the beautiful magazine, I still hadn't had the motivation to actually plant anything.  I guess it's because I didn't bother to read the text?  I didn't read the text because I couldn't focus on reading text on magazines. The photos are always too distracting.  Like other magazines I read, I put it away and forgot about it until recently when I want more space for my bookshelf.  A...

I don't live in a house. I never lived in a house.  I have no idea why I even bought gardening books when I don't have a yard, particularly when I bought the same book twice.  Now I end up having 2 of the exact same big gardening book.   So I'm now selling one of them at a deep discount , to make space in my little apartment.  It's brand new and never read. I just got it out of one of my moving boxes that I finally decided to open after years of moving into my current place.  The above photo is from pg. 314 of the book.  What a lovely rose field.  If you have read this book, please feel free to leave a comment in the comment area below.  If you'd like to buy this book from me, please click here to shop at my Bookshelf Clearance Page .

I saw this book all the time when I shopped at grocery stores and drug stores.  I had to fight to resist the temptation of the beautiful book cover to refrain from buying another book that my bookshelf currently has no space to keep .  As soon as I thought I forgot about this book, I read about it on one of my magazines .  This book really has powerful marketing to make itself visible to me, tempting me...
