And in this corner today, we have books and books and more books. These shelves are full of devotionals, what I would call counseling on different spiritual subjects, study books, Christian fiction, game books, political books, etc, etc. I enjoy reading. My husband says do you really need all these out in the bedroom, why not pack them away? I know if I packed them away I would forget I had them and never look at them again. As it is, they are handy to answer a question. There are scholastic books from when I was in school. Books that I know are clean to read. I am one who if I enjoyed a good book and haven't read it for a while, I like to read it again. Several I have are Christian fiction in a series, like the "Love Comes Softly" series by Jeanette Oke. Of course, our Bibles are there and different reference books.
These are books I am currently reading for relaxation. I just finished the first in the series by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer "Cape Light". It has been long enough since I read it that I didn't remember what happened and enjoyed it as much as the first time.
When my kids were little we read a lot. I enjoyed spending the time with them. These are some of the books we shared.
Come along and gather round as we share our hobbies and homes at
Ahhhh, memories. I love those books! :o)
ReplyDeleteFantastic collection. Your link at Kelli's is incorrect. It's the one from last week!
ReplyDeleteSo, I just did some tweaking on the uri address bar in my browser and found your 'new' one. Love the books.

I'm an avid reader too. In fact, I review books now and have a separate blog for that.

I love a well used book case! That is so wonderful that you read to your kids. Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend. Elena
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I treasure all literature and the old ones are so dear. I always told our sons to be kind to the books, they are our friends.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! I have a bookcase in my bedroom stuffed full of books also. I am always glad to meet another bibliophile.
ReplyDeleteI love books too and so does my husband, so we have to careful to keep them from taking over the house! :) The Love Comes Softly is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love books too! Though your books are much neater than mine! I need to sort through them, and organize. I love the Love Comes Softly series too. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI used to remember every detail of every book I read. Now I forget and can read a book again and be surprised! I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
ReplyDeleteI love books too and have far too many of them. "Jenny's Surprise Summer" was a favorite with my girls, too. Thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteThanks too for stopping by my kitchen table and leaving such an encouraging comment.
God bless,
