A book tag I shameless swiped from Laura at her wonderful blog, The Noodle Incident. I love any and all things “bookish” 😀
1) Total number of books I own? I actually have no idea. Probably 150 or more, but that would include cookbooks and some old paperbacks that I probably need to donate or take to a used bookstore. I’ve actually worked hard over the years to not buy many books. Bookstores and buying books is a terrible addiction for me, like crack to a junkie or alcohol to an alcoholic, or the sound of a casino and slot machines to a person with a gambling problem. I could easily own 1000 books and never blink an eye. But, I’m very practical and realistic. I normally only read a book once. So, it makes more sense (money and space wise) for me to patronize my library. Which I do, relentlessly. I’ve probably checked out over 100 books in the last few years (that I could have easily bought, if I’d allowed myself). Whew – long answer!
2) The last book I bought? The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
3) The last book I read? Currently reading “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger. The last book I completed was “Return” by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley (book 3 in a series of 5).
4) 5 books that mean a lot to me?
Did you get those from Presh? And how did you get them! That’s what you ask me if you think I got something from the Grandmothers so I thought I’d return the favor 🙂
I like them, have enough to share! haha
Oh my goodness, I LOVE those old books!! That is amazing!! My grandmother has a huge bookcase of “official-looking” leather bound books. Lots of classics. I’d love to really go through it someday and check out what she has.
Gail – yes, those are from Presh. She gave them to me when I was 12 or 13, so I’ve had them most of my life. Some of them were printed in the 20’s and 30’s, and one has 1888 in the front. I have had them in my bookcase for years, in the den, to show off 🙂 Have you never noticed them?!
I might consider sharing, in exchange for some quilts 🙂
What quilts? I don’t have any quilts from Presh, but wish I did. Don’t really have anything of hers (:
I don’t know if I have ever noticed those books before, I’ll have to enjoy perusing them next time I come!
