The Beauty of Books

I have a love affair with books. I can't get enough of their magical words that transport you and expand horizons. Reading a novel on the ipad is not my idea of fun, where is the tactile sensation of touching the pages, the delicious fresh paper smell?

Today I received two new books to keep me enthralled for the coming week. Both are recommendations from other Bloggers and I assure you they will not disappoint. After a quick flip through I'm already hooked.

  1. you are so right, even as I sit here commenting on your blog I remember the smell and the feel of a much loved book. The joy of drifting through its pages again and again and seeing it on a book shelf or coffee table make my heart sing. I really enjoy my blogging and my ipad but books will always be a little closer to my heart.
    Love your blog.
    Warm wishes Daryl
