Books


Much time spent reading
Was her plan
It has not happened
Winter is not over
Maybe it will still happen

I currently am reading two paper books and one book on the Kindle (not asked for) I got for Christmas. Still another pile or so to go through before I decide whether I will now go totally electronic.

I see so many books that I have read on your shelves. I need to find a really good book to hold my interest.. after the holidays.I have, however, been reading the sweetest little book. It's called A Mystic Garden, by Gunilla Norris. I've read some quotes of hers, in the past, on your blog.It's only 100 pages and talks of spirituality in gardening throughout a whole year. Very quick reading.When I first picked it up, I looked at the author and thought...Hmmmm, this one sounds familiar, and then I thought about where I had heard of her.I hope that the New Year brings you everything that you hope for...Balisha

Tabor, my daughter received a Kindle. At the present time I need to see books and feel them.
Good luck in your decision.
Balisha, I have many more not shown and need to start reading them over. Have only kept my favorites.
Thank you both for visiting me this early morning.

I see we have some of the same books. It was fun looking at your books, and knowing we must think alike

I just finished History of Love by Nicole Krauss. It was hard to get into, but, I cried when I finished it...
Now on to Harry Potter 4, so I can discuss with the kids, both young and old kids....

Maybe you will do what your belly and your heart tell you to.

Beverly, we have a lot of the same interest - except facebook :)
Kaveri - I will :) it tells me to sit in the old leather chair and not move....

Laura said...

The more I write the less I make time to read...I too need to find a balance:)

I LOVE seeing your books! I couldn't quite read all the titles but I saw some I have read and loved like The Shell Seekers and the Clothesline book.

All in good time, my friend. Things happen in their own good time.

Dear Sharon, thank you - also for the word "unafraid" ...

Here is a post dear to my heart, book lover that I am. It was absolutely grand to see all the lovely books in your images.

Like you, my friend, I have not managed to indulge in hours and hours of reading so far this winter, and I find myself wishing for them. Perhaps we shall be granted those hours in the near future.

I typically have 6-9 on the go at one time. Every so often, I think I should settle in and read one at a time...but never happens!

I just love the feel and look and smell of books. And the way they look, lying around the house. I'm always comfortable in a house scattered with books (and I love to see what others are reading!)

Dear Cate and Deborah - I feel so special when you comment. I know how busy you both are. You are both so talented and admired much!!

Balisha said...

Just stopped to say hello. Do you have your nose in a book :) Have a great weekend. Balisha ((hugs))

Laura said...

Haven't heard from you in awhile...hoping all is well and you are simply resting.

Stopping by to check on you. You are in my thoughts and prayers this day.

Making new friends is a delight. Through your lovely blog I may visit you and become acquainted with your ways. We gain particular insights from each other and this broadens our vision of life. As I grow older I find this such a comfort!

One day I hope to share pictures on my blog.

Take care of you! :)

Blessings!

I made the pictures bigger to see the book titles - so many the same. Your shelves are beautiful. Happy reading.
