I'm off in book-land...again.

Hello girls! I hope you are enjoying this blessed reprieve of the summer! Now I will abruptly change subjects and admit another of my "One Weaknesses" ;)

*checks room to make sure none of my family is here...only they already know.*

Get ready for it....

Books.

Yes. Some of my best friends, most beloved men, deepest dreams, are found in the pages of literature. So is it any wonder that I am often lost to the world with my nose buried between the leaves? My family knows I am perfectly useless in those moments. I walk around during chore-time with a dreamy smile on my face, my mind occupied in book-land. And oh, what a lovely sensation when I discover the books are based off of fact!
Would you like to peek onto my recent bookshelf for a moment?
