B is for Books


Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

    My Taylor loooooves books! Every time we go to the Goodwill she goes right to the book section. Every time I talk about using a book for a craft (as in taking the book apart) she freaks out!

    I love books. The kind you can hold in your hands. I don't know if I'll ever get into the Kindle kind...

    Hi Jenny, thanks for your visit. I have not heard of the oil you mentioned but I have been using pure Frankincense oil and that is doing amazing healing. I went to your other blog, what a cute dad there. Thanks for coming to say hi :D

    I love books too! And love to physically hold books in my hands to read, feel, and smell. I'm too old for this new world :-)

    Such a great quote!

    =)

    PS. I guess your book is to be nibbled slowly, because that's what we have to do every Tuesday....

    I love books, I love to smell books. Ya ever notice that a Kindle just doesn't 'sniff' the same.

    B is for your beautiful heart! Angel loved the Easter Card and growin' bunny friend ya sent her. Her news is not good. She's in the hospital right now. Infection, memory and processing problems, weight loss.... It breaks my heart.

    God bless and have a super day sweetie!!!

    You would think so with as many of the books in my house that have teethmarks on them! We like to embrace the full experience here, I suppose. :)

    I never met a book I didn't like. Even if it was a really bad read it always made a great fire.~Ames

    I like your quote! It goes along with my view of reading. That one does not HAVE to finish every book started. Some people have to. I think that's a waste of valuable time. One *should* be moving on, to find the next GRRRRRRRREAT book. Instead of slogging through one, which doesn't resonate with one.

    My view...

    Since childhood, books have been such a part of my life. Now with rising costs of quilt fabric and going to the bookstore, often a decision has to made...so difficult!
    Thank goodness for the library and having a circle of friends who we can share books with!

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
