Reading Time with Picakled Olives (1) [Asaf]

New on my bookshelf
I just came back from the post office to collect my recent on-line book purchase. It seems that winter in Israel refuse to visit. Meanwhile, the olive trees give their fruits as if the first rains, we all waiting for, are already here. So side by side on my bookshelf rests newly printed books next to a freshly pickled olives from my parents home garden in the Lower-Galilee.


I wonder whats new on your bookshelves this time of year.

(1)The idea for the title of this post is from this wonderful song by Regina Spector.
