words create worlds

I have always loved books
and am obsessed with libraries.
Big, small, one shelf, or thousands of shelves libraries are my favorite places.
Because they house entire worlds.
That is my favorite thing about books.
The endless journeys you can take.
Here are some to die for libraries I have found on pinterest.

the classics

I have a friend who will only read the classics. She says all fiction written in the last 50 years is basically crap. Those were not her exact words but that was the gist of it. I am in the opposite camp. It is no secret that I LOVE to read. And I read anything and everything. I was the nerd in school that read every book on the suggested reading list every year. But our conversation made me think about my favorite classics. My favorite classic author would have to be Jane Austen! It was hard to narrow it down to a few books because there are so many great ones. But here is a tentative list of my favorites.

Jane Eyre~Charlotte Bronte

Mansfield Park~Jane Austen

Gone With the Wind~Margaret Mitchell

The Great Gatsby~F. Scott Fitzgerald

A Separate Peace~John Knowles

To Kill a Mockingbird~Harper Lee

Lord of the Rings~JRR Tolkein

What is your favorite Classic?

reading is bliss!

My favortie thing to do when I have a break from school is read! My brothers think I am crazy. But during the semester I really cannot do any fun reading. They say their is no such thing as "fun" reading. Sadly, I did not pass on my love of reading to them. This break I have already devoured ten books. I have about fifteen more to go. I keep adding more books to my "to read" stack. Books-A-Million is pretty much my home planet! Are any of you reading any good books right now?
