The Thrill of Books.
https://www.facebook.com/LakeCountyF...86932081316787
I have been molting books since I was 16 or so. I have to shed some of these every once in a while to make room for new ones but there are some I always come back to at some time. |

I read almost my books a second time and get so much more out of them because I'm not speed-reading.

I also find that I have to cull the collection about once every 10 years or so.

This is the link to NPR's 2015 Book Concierge. Click on the book covers to find a short summary and further links to reviews and some author interviews.

I download books all the time from the Library and From Bookbub.
Yet I have to say, I am so happy when I go to the Library and come home with a bag full of interesting books!

It.s better to go to the library and check out books rather than download them imho!

I must warn you though that it is hard to stop clicking on those book covers and a whole lot of time can go by before you know it. -- But it actually helped me with a little Christmas shopping. I ordered 3 of those books and they have arrived already. And books are so easy to wrap. -- So I guess Book Concierge was actually a timesaver now that I think about it. Have fun! |
