I run out of space for books, buy another new bookcase and put the overflow there, and somehow by the next week the new bookcase is overflowing, too, even though I'd swear we hadn't gotten a single book in that time. I think it's a conspiracy. :)Abigail Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708693060207815920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-74185435895431128312010-09-23T18:23:24.148-04:002010-09-23T18:23:24.148-04:00I love everything about books.

I've been looking forward to seeing such a picture for several years and now, YAAAAAYYYY! her it is. And may I say, I never doubted I WOULD see such picture.<br /><br />Like you I love books and always have. I tend to read one at a time, tho. Well, before I was doing reviews, now I usually have at least two three going.

Books are magic. They have the power to transport, transform, and transcend our lives. My favorite form of entertainment.<br /><br />Congratulations on YOUR book, Olivia. I can't wait for my copy...<i>*muttering Stupid Amazon hurry up</i><br /><br />I have been trying swell the tide of books, I'm convinced that mine are bunnies 'cause they reproduce when I'm not looking. They must. Seriously, how could I have that many books otherwise? I have started donating books to my local library and just checking them out again if I want. All except the special ones I love too much to be parted. <br /><br />Bookcases, I need more bookcases. They run across the top of everything and huddle in piles in cupboards everywhere.

I reach under the pillow several times and feel it there, just to make sure I'm not dreaming. <br /><br />I too have an abundance of books. When my parents divorced, my dad would take me to a book store every week and let me buy as many books as I wanted. That's really the only way he spoiled me.
