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.
