bookcases

For those of you that don't know me well, I love to read. I mean, I really love to read. Anything and everything. I even get car sick because I love to read every single sign that we pass whenever I'm the passenger on a drive. Reading has always allowed me to dream and travel and be in places that would never be possible in this world, like when I read about the past. Unless the flux capacitor someday comes to fruition, then you can always find me with a book.

When I was younger my parents would complain that they just couldn't afford to keep up with my reading habits because I always wanted the newest book the library didn't have. Aaaannnnd...nothing has changed. My husband still makes the same complaint. So I've come to love the library and be patient when what I really want to do is run out and buy the newest bestsellers. I still like to buy books, but now I try to get them at Goodwill, Salvation Army, or when the local library has monthly twenty-five cent book sales.

My biggest desire in this world is to someday have a house where I can dedicate a room to hold just my books, a home library of sorts. Here are images of some of the things I would want in that room. Enjoy.
