Like you I take plenty of reading material where ever I go. My camper doesn't have a wardrobe for clothes. It has space for my books and book making! <br />It's great that you carried this love of books into adult hood and work as a librarian.

I can recall the children's section and its layout. Also the adult side where I'd walk around and remember how people were sitting on chairs and at tables ... Unlike the children's side, where we'd just plop down where we found a book we'd like. It seemed so big, but I'm sure if I visited now is think differently.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972581207321576723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-42734001008600751672015-10-18T00:19:03.535+01:002015-10-18T00:19:03.535+01:00Really lovely layout, the stag button is so cute. ...Really lovely layout, the stag button is so cute. Lovely story - I use to hate having to go out at the weekends and during the holidays, when I would much rather just curl up in a corner with a good book - the grown ups had this daft notion that fresh air would be good for me!!KraftyKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414480551327007813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-17944347945009256572015-10-17T19:13:47.550+01:002015-10-17T19:13:47.550+01:00I am exactly the same!

My problem is deciding how many books I'll need on any given excursion that last more than a couple of days. I have a pile of magazines and two books ready to put in the car for the next trip. Another wonderful layout; I wonder if I have that card.

The story to go with yours is perfect. In turn, your story leads other people to tell one! Like---how my siblings called me lazy for not getting up to answer the phone while I was reading. They never understood that I simple did not hear it! That's what reading amidst a large family will do. You learn to block out the background noise as you are absorbed in your "other world!"

Susan, on the other hand, would have been hanging out with you at the library. Your LO is beautiful. I am using the Crate "Wonder" line for a mini album that I just started on with Susan for Crafty Tuesday.

I take a book to work even though, at the moment, I'm spending 6 hours in the library!! Coals to Newcastle! <br /><br />At least there I never get the 'What if I get it finished? Then what will I read?' panic! And I've got my eye on two huge volumes of Dickens's non-fiction articles ... should tide me over for a while ...
