But, I remember how much better it used to be, way back before they rearranged it. Most of the upstairs was fiction stacks - it was totally awesome!!!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697826850954602904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510176110575262601.post-85845683371714725022013-10-04T23:32:04.110-05:002013-10-04T23:32:04.110-05:00"And the Mountains Echoed" sounds like s..."And the Mountains Echoed" sounds like something I would pick up - just from the title alone! Will have to check it out for my Kindle.

Tuesdays with Morrie was...Yes- I too love reading! Tuesdays with Morrie was definitely life-changing for me and has guided me often throughout the years. I also loved Redeeming Love. I'm reading Insurgent- a young adult book that my niece asked me to read. While neither of my boys have adopted my love of the library or reading, my niece has and so we bond over our love of books quite often. For book club we are going to read the new Khaled Hosseini book "And the Mountains Echoed." And books- I want to feel, smell, and see actual pages- I love books :) Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510176110575262601.post-71693196366655903832013-10-03T20:30:03.983-05:002013-10-03T20:30:03.983-05:00I share your love of reading, Jane! I can remembe...I share your love of reading, Jane! I can remember being young and going to the library in Abilene and getting lost in the stacks. And the smell....oh the smell. It's one of my favorites. I prefer reading the actual book, like you I like the feel of the pages. Also, any time I start a book I skip to the back and read the last sentence first. I'm not sure why, but I've always done it. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757362757233595670noreply@blogger.com
