My Long Post; Free Kindle books on the iPod
Comments (2)I have been guilty of the same thing I love pixel of ink. Plus I also have a ton of ebooks in epub format too. I have no idea how I will read them all. So many great free books I don't know why I would need to buy any....See MoreJust In the Door: House Beautiful: The Home Book
Comments (9)Sorry to hijack the thread, but: oakley, how are you feeling? type I or type II? My sister's type I and does occasionally eat the odd slice of pound cake... hope you're doing well, anyway. Love pound cake, and that book sounds fabulous! Artlover, I'm with you on pie. I always think piecrust is a waste of perfectly good calories that might otherwise go to chocolate, which I think corresponds better with the divine plan....See MoreMacoboy's Roses book - home wanted
Comments (5)My mother lives at Mermaid Waters and my sister visits nearly every Saturday. She may be able to pick it up or make some arrangement with you if you are anywhere in the vicinity of Robina to Broadbeach areas. My mum is an elderly pensioner and loves her roses. She cannot do as much out in the garden anymore and she would love a book to look out. I think she only has one book on roses and it is rather old. My sister occasionally gets her some from the library if any are available....See Moreaaaaugh! no books anywhere
Comments (32)Aw, I’m betting the op was Going waaay overboard to make the point of her love for the visual appeal of books in the home. That’s me, too. I’ve forever loved the look of bookshelves filled with mostly books, with a few bits of memorabilia or art objects. Now that I read mostly on my kindle and iPad, there are very few books that I buy and keep. But the books I’ve had since long before the digital age are there because a) I treasure them, b) they are first editions, c) I do like re-reading some , like my Barbara Pym collection, that are mostly unavailable now, and some, oh the shame, because they have lovely backs. On the very top shelves are colorful matching editions , ancient histories and the like , never to be read but look oh so nice up there. Also, I will confess that I was once a little judgmental of homes with nary a book in sight...before the internet. That was in my More foolish, small minded younger days. So, that’s my story on having and loving books in a home. But, hmmm, the op may just also be a troll trying to get our parties in a bunch....See MoreUser
