I have a kindle-like thing. But only because I ran out of books at the beach last year!

I love the smell of a book. The first thing I do is flick through the pages, smelling it. Old and new. They each have their own unique smell – like a fingerprint or something!

Have to go now, it’s time for my medication ………..

Like you, my love of books was fostered by a bedtime story every night. Plus a nursery school teacher who would read to me when I refused to have the then obligatory afternoon nap. My appetite for reading was such that I read all the books we were supposed to read in 4 years at primary school in the first year. And although there are times when I envy my Dad & hubby for their Kindles, I really do love nothing more than starting a pristine new book.

Books are VERY important in my life too.
This post makes me think about my reading habits, thank you for this. Perhaps I’ll write a post about it.

I am big reader while G. is not (the same as you and F.). I have lots of books and I purchased many (more than 50) ebooks. I couldn’t live without books even though I am not like you: I don’t have to finish a book if I don’t like it (and most of the time I don’t!).

“There’s nothing better than a good book to read”: I completely agree.

Reading a book to someone is a wonderful thing.
