Books! Oh, books!!
Stacks and stacks of books!
Treat them with respect, or else. They will find retribution.
How could the importance books be known? Who knew that books would change how you view life?
P.S. When I taught, there were always boxes of books in my classrooms. One time I went to a book warehouse, where boxes and bins of books were stacked for people to sort through. I found myself in huge boxes, where I nearly disappeared. Bought many many books for my students and the school.
Oh, what bliss.
I bet that was bliss.
ReplyDeleteThat bed is cool.
I wonder if it rentable?
DeleteI can't resist browsing in a bookshop.
ReplyDeleteI wander around in book shops and resist buying any more.
DeleteThere is nothing more comforting on a dreary day rhan a comfortable chair, a cup of tomato soup, and a good book. It is my idea of heaven.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I'd put on a fire in the fireplace. too.
DeleteCool book post. And I am all about the not hording if its books. Besides, you can;t have 10 books in a library built over a lifetime. Nice to meet you. I've stopped by from Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that site. they are so talented.
DeleteLoved this post. Books are life.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that most people don't see the value.

I should have donated a bunch of books this year.
the gr-children we now have, are always excited by the book fair.
DeleteYou are speaking my language here. Books bring me comfort, education and escape - sometimes in the same volume.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I remember reading and re-reading Little Women over and over.
DeleteHeaven has to have a wonderful library. Someday i want to go to a used book sale again.
ReplyDeleteHeaven would have some great authors there. Can you imagine that?
DeleteMy idea of bliss too! Best friends and teachers - available to everyone. I could sleep in that bed, absorb all those stories through my pores as I snooze!
ReplyDeleteOh, so true.
DeleteIsn't there a Japanese word for collecting lots of books? I seem to recall reading that a while back.
ReplyDeleteI will check that out.
DeleteI remember my grade seven teacher had a shelf of books in the back of the room and if we finished any worksheet with time to spare we were allowed to sit back there and read while everyone else kept working. I sat back there quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteI was there with you. Our classroom library was for people like you and me.
Delete"It's not hoarding..." That's me right there..
ReplyDeleteThat says it all.
DeleteI have books and book shelves in every room of my home, including the loo. This is a wonderful post, Susan.
ReplyDeleteJust when I think that I need more books, I find some garage sale.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy sitting down with a good book.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate to be able to visit a nearby second hand book shop recently and came out with three books.
Happy reading.
All the best Jan
Only 3?!
DeleteI love a good book and have enjoyed reading a lot this summer. I've been donating them after I'm done to thrift shops so others can enjoy them too and at a cheaper rate than I spent! Ha! I'm always happy to get a book as a gift. Rainy days are just meant for a comfy chair and a good read!
ReplyDeleteSo true. Our community has a library of used books, and they are numerous! Good stuff.
