Once as an eleven-year old girl, I borrowed a library book, Enid Blython's children's thrillers probably. I fell in love with the story... and majorly with the book itself. It smelled such sweet peaches. I'd read a page, then soak up in the beautiful, light hint of an odor, wonder where it got its starts from, then go on indulging in the tale.

How sweet to see you writing your way out again... go on dear! Your path is utterly precious and delectable!

I can't buy a Kindle. I just can't do it. I am a book girl. Happy reading, lovely!xo

I agree with you girls. No Kindle for me either, although I did get an iPad for mother's day and my husband bought the book application for it.

Missed you, sweet friend.

Angie, those ipads are incredibly cute and sleek... a book application? hmmm, good luck resisting:))

thanks for popping in... sending hugs!!

I was thinking about books in the shower last night. I have to have books, even for school, I'm just not a Kindle girl. The concept is great, and I'm all for those who love them, but I have to savor the book itself. Books have always been a part of my life, they have been best friends, travel companions (from my living room!), they are so wonderful.

Truer words were never spoken. Long live the paper and hardback book!
