I built a wall to wall built-in years ago for hubby's office to gather up the books that were all over the house, but we filled that up and still have books all over the house. lol. Love them!! Can't get into the new technology... there's nothing like the feel of a real book, especially vintage books that have been read many times. It's a tactile connection thing. Your shelves look lovely!!

Books are a passion of mine, also magazines. Kindles and Nooks may be "all that" for those who choose them and I wouldn't mind having one myself, but there will always and ever be many books and magazines in my home. As long as there is me,I will have my books about me! There is just something so relaxing, comforting and sublime about the feel and even the smell of a book. Yes, I love that, too. It doesn't matter if a book has that "just off the press" new fragrance and has crisp, clean pages or whether it smells as if it has been around for years, is well read and is somewhat musty and yellowed. There is nothing like the written word in bound pages. My home is filled with them, as well. My father instilled in me a love of reading and I grew up with books everywhere and it is in my blood. Anyway, I get it too. I really, really do get it!!!lynn cockrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250601457878656085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-77523250764973620332013-09-14T18:10:15.939-07:002013-09-14T18:10:15.939-07:00You are a mad woman!

I used to get into trouble because I would be reading instead of whatever chore I was supposed to be doing. And I reread books that I love over and over (and over). When I read I "see" the book playing out like a movie in my head. You never sound like a madwoman to me ;-)betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150123524195333123noreply@blogger.com
