Books!

One of my favorite bloggers  did this the other day and gave me this idea.  And since if it weren't for the internet no one would know whether I was dead or alive, I thought I would blog about books.

I went around my house and photographed my books.  Granted I am missing several that I have loaned to people but that it part of the joy of owning books.  My husband thinks that buying books is a big waste of money.  I disagree.  It is an investment into my life and into the growth of who I am.  It is a way to reach out to others and share in their sorrow or joys by sharing a wonderful book.  It is a way of learning and I LOVE to learn about people.

So  here are a few of my bookshelves scattered around my house.
Some Bibles and other good stuff.
Bonhoeffer.  Everyone should read about him.  The Twelvth Imam.  Amazingly good book of fiction.


A mix of fiction and just good writing.



Our mini collection of Dear America books.  My son loved them and I still love to read them.


What a mix!  My daughter calls my Amish fiction books Bonnet Books.
The Book of Virtues was a favorite of my boys when they were young.


Not the popular Twilight.  This one is by Kristen Heitzman and NOT about vampires.


I won the thesaurus in high school and the clerical book was a textbook.


I did NOT like the book Green.





The books I am reading now or just have read.  Along with a favorite movie!


What are you reading?

  1. neat! All of my books - except my very favorites or ones I haven't read - are in storage at a friends' house. :( I loved Captivating! And I still have your book - I'll try to remember to bring it Sunday!

  3. Thanks for stopping by, Teje! I appreciate so much your kind words about the quilt. I haven't quilted for a while and feel kind of out of sync with it lately. Vickie is an amazing friend that I just don't see enough!
