I love to read…
If you don’t know me by now…I have a confession…I love books. I love to read.
I adore books and not the Kindle type, but the books, you can still hold in your hands and stuff in a bag and write notes on the side and highlight and have hubby wonder why the luggage bag feels like it was packed with bricks, and you don’t have the heart to tell him, that half it’s weight is due to books to be read on the plane, at the hotel, on the way home…….
Yes…I love books that much.
Every so often (which is often), I check a book out of the library or maybe from a friend/or family referral, buy a book, or just come across a title somewhere that sounds good and take a chance and order the book to read, to love and to add on an already strained library.
It’s worth it.
A book doesn’t need to be recharged.
The power can go out; The candle can be lit and the book can be read.
If there are bugs, it can be use to whack the bug, clean the cover, and continue reading, but no matter what, it serves so many purposes.
There is something about holding a book in your hand and just opening the pages and feeling that instant connection or desire to just throw the book away.
It’s timeless…and it’s always been around.
I pray and hope I can encourage my kids to love books as much as I do and the excitement they get when we go to the library or a book arrives in the mail is worth it.
I told hubby, the hard part is that, as frugal as we try to be, books is something I can’t give up.
I seriously search and research and wait with baited breath to try and get the cheapest, most inexpensive books I possible can order, so I can still have them to read over and over and over and to keep treasuring.
There’s always a stack of books by my bed.
That’s my signature.
So…………….there you go….I love books…a lot.

I am a confessed book lover too! As a kid, I would go to the library each week and carry home an armful of books. I loved to lie on my bed and read. My mother used to come upstairs and insist I go outside to get some fresh air and she used to say I’m going to ruin my eyes.
Well, I still love to read but I have less time to read. My husband bought me a Kindle when they first came out as a gift. I wasn’t keen on it at first because I couldn’t hold the pages but I’ve become somewhat used to it. It comes in handy for me because I can slip it in my purse and have hundreds of books on it. So, if I need to wait someplace I don’t get impatient, I simply take out my kindle and see what I want to read. BTW, I am not doing a commercial for Kindle.
I’d rather have a book in my hands but my Kindle comes in a close second.
Blessings,
Debbie

Mine is trying to bring me into the digital age and they look neat (the Kindle) and I keep seeing the commercials, but it’s hard..but it took me awhile too, to bring myself to put my blog on FB. Go figure….I’m using a fountain pen and prefer paper dayplanners to write with still! LOL!
I remember the first “real” book I got as a child, it was “Little House on the Prairie” I re-read it so many times that it was literally falling apart.

I don’t think I could ever give books up, but I would be willing as long as I can have my Bible.
