After our move four years ago, my plan is to never have more books than I have shelf space for. I love books, but I don't want the extra clutter. That makes e-readers extra special.

Rowling's quote about not dwelling on dreams is among my all time favorites. I used to read alot of Maya Angelou, and she truly is an inspiration. I also like Anais Nin quotes and also Lady Di.<br /><br />I can't resist library sales, my library always has books for sale in one corner, but there is a large library sale twice a year in a library a town over that I just love. I have found some gems there during the sale. <br />Happy weekend :)The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-33489996540086964522015-09-05T05:33:19.498-07:002015-09-05T05:33:19.498-07:00We do have library sales here once in a while but ...We do have library sales here once in a while but I rarely buy them. However, I do donate books to them and they've this corner where you can place your books on the shelves and whoever wants them can bring them home. I try not to buy too many books nowadays; as much as I love print copies they take up lots of space. As my husband always love to say to me, no matter how many shelves we bought they'd always be not enough, lol.

I love to take my daughter though. I just wish they had story times on the weekend. We can't go during the week when most of the children's programs are held.

Our library tends to have a large one quarterly but ex-library stock is available on a trolley all the time. Priced 50p for a hardback, 25p for a paperback and 10p for children's books as you can imagine my TBR pile never gets less than mountainous.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-91849150289059183132015-09-03T16:57:22.121-07:002015-09-03T16:57:22.121-07:00I like your list of people, especially Doctor Who....I like your list of people, especially Doctor Who...lol.
