Bookswap in the Haight

Given my love of books, and wine, and talking to people, Alyssa thought it would be fun to go to Bookswap at the Booksmith in the Haight last night.  We met up at the Ferry building and split a delicious grilled cheese then took Muni to our planned location.

Everything started off a little awkwardly, but they filled the room with about 30 people and split us into groups of 5 so we could talk about our chosen thriller in a smaller group.  We all switched tables two times and by the end I had talked to two authors, a slightly awkward geeky couple, and the very sweet owners of the store!

I bought a mystery novel by one of the authors who writes exclusively about Paris and ended up with 4 other books for FREEEE!

After all that it has been nice to hang out and have an evening in with Kris, watching Star Trek and drinking chocolate milk!
