In 2009 I read 100 books. I was trying to make it to one hundred,and I scrounged to get there. Because of homeschooling, crafting and cooking there are tons of odd books on my list. That is just the way life is right now, and I make no excuses because I wouldn’t want it any other way. Sometimes (many times) after a long day of “working” around the house it has been hard for me to want to pick up a deep book or thought provoking one. What you see is what I read, for better or for worse. I wish I had some more intelligent books there-but I haven’t wanted to ready them so I don’t. Yep, that is that. Still I have some great favourites from what I read this year. I’ll have to think about which are the top of the top, there are many that I loved this year.
Here we are, (B) + (b) I was dinkin’ around with my photo editor, and kinda liked the way this turned out What does ex libris mean? well wiki says:
Ex Libris is a Latin phrase, meaning literally, “from books.” It is often used to indicate ownership of a book, as in from the books of… or from the library of’…’
I love it when people post pictures of their houses, mainly of their books in the context of their houses, so I decided to show you our living room It is lined in books! This last time we moved I actually put them in alphabetical order by author, I love it, it makes things so easy and I like having a system. There is nothing worse than knowing you have a book that you really want to read, and you can’t find where it is in the shelves!!! Where are your books?? I’d love to see!!
I am a devout underliner, I love reading my markings later on. I love being able to find what I enjoyed about the book. I also write tons of stuff in the margins, interesting things that I think go with the book, or things like (WOW!) or (faith) so that I can refer back to quotes and themes.
Are you an underliner or an anti-underliner? At my latest book club meeting I was the only underliner, everyone else had their books in pristine condition…I love reading a well read and enjoyed book, that is probably why I do it. I also mark in the back the page numbers for things that I will want to look back on, quotes and interesting themes.
To underline, or not to underline…what do you think?
