Today I am thankful for books AND for the public library where I can read as many as I want for FREE!
NOT that I mind buying books, it’s just that every space on every book shelf that I own is full!
I keep looking for ways to incorporate new book shelves into my decor!
“WHY DON’T YOU JUSY START READING DIGITAL BOOKS?” my friends all say. But I just can’t do it! It’s not for lack of trying. I tried! 1. At work, I look at computer screens all day, then I spend another couple hours a day looking at things on my phone or tablet. I don’t want to look at anything else digitally a day! I’m seriously going blind from monitors and devices!
2. I enjoy the feel, weight, and even the smell (yes the smell) of an actual book. The smell of the ink, on top of the smell of the paper, of a brand new book is sooooooo sexy to me! Haha!
3. This is entirely shameful and embarrassing to admit. I don’t use bookmarks. I turn the corner of the page down. My own books, library books….if you loaned me a book, you’d get it back with pages that had been turned down and were then straightened out. I LIKE turning down page corners.
Of course I have to mention how thankful I am for the freedom to read books and for the ability to be able to choose the content myself, but that’s really a whole seperate day of thankfulness of its own. (more on that one later this month)
Speaking of content however; what I like to read is practically anything! But I do have a certain penchant for the classics. I also adore fiction. And lately have been delving into the easy to read young adult world (mostly because Hollywood likes to makes movies based on YA material and I like to read the book before I see the film)
Books books books and more books.
This is what I’m thankful for today.
I also love reading books and i turn down pages to! I really like your writing style! Keep posting!
Simon thank you for the compliment! I’ll keep posting if you’ll keep turning down your pages! Thanks for reading my blog and for commenting! :)
