I (Heart) Books


Sigh....don't you just love books?

I do.

I love old books, new books, red books, blue books.

I love them here.

I love them there.

I love them...LOVE THEM... everywhere!

So..for your perusing enjoyment..if you are so inclined...
I present a list... or two..of some of my all time favs 
(and some that I am itching to dive into...)
This list is by no means exhaustive....
...just a joyous, spontaneous, recalling at the moment...
...because today...is a good day to read !!!

This first list is composed of books I can go back to...
....over and over and over again.
They are friends that speak.
Beloved characters....enduring landscapes.
Timeless.

Hinds Feet on High Places
Mountains of Spices

The Shining Face

Mister God this is Anna
The Folk of the Faraway Tree
The Little White Horse
Pilgrim's Inn
The Blue Castle
The Lost Prince


 The list that follows..well... 
has the potential to...
...transform the landscape, internal and external.
Read with caution.

    Sounds like some great reading...I get lost in my books (especially with books that Beth Moore wrote) I feel like I'm listening to you when I'm reading her books. :)

    Thank-you precious lady! I came home with books today...they are in a pile in front of me..and I am grinning from ear to ear at the thought of diving in tonight! Wish we could meet up for coffee and hugs, laugh and cry! I miss you! I (heart) you too!

    I remember you talking about a lot of those books. Childhood reading is a gift!

    But do you like e-books? This is the question in this century.

    Q4U: I'm going to indie publish (yes, I am, and so excited!) in September, and I'm wondering if you'd be interested in reading CLOCKWISE my YA Time Travel to review? If not, no problem! I know life is busy.

    @ Elle....so excited for you!!!!
    Would love to read Clockwise...and review it for you! See all my exclamation points ((GRIN)).

    E-books....I am looking into the whole phenom.
    I am old school in that I love holding a book...but I don't yet have an e-reader tablet.
    I WANT one. I think as my eyes are beginning to require assistance I might appreciate being able to enlarge the font.
    Be blessed as you move forward. Hugs!
