Lack of space, but…

   Six Word Saturday:

________________________________________________________________

… there are never too many books!

My bookcase is bursting. One of these days there will be an explosion, showering my living room with shreds of paper. So I took the plants outside for the summer and redecorated the windowsill with books. To relieve the plagued bookkeeper. A bit. And there are still stacks in front of it. Plus to the side. ;)

I love books. I want books. I need books.

Happy reading weekend!

    • This day definitely became a lot sunnier because of your comment. Thank you, Angel.
      You nominated two of my blogs, hehehe, that is so very sweet. I will ponder on your questions and write a post.
      And perhaps we should start a library together ;)

  1. ahhhh books books! I used to hoard books-now I read from our local library and IF there is one I want to read again, then and only then I will buy it…….we recently moved and downsized and I felt squeezed by all our stuff, so I did give up all the books I truly didn’t want to keep and they are all happily in new homes. BUT it wasn’t easy! Cheers! Your books on window sills are beautiful…

    • Kathe, you are courageous! The libraries here in the Netherlands don’t have the books I want to read (English fantasy), so I simply have to buy them. Lucky me, eh? ;)
      And thank you. Enjoy your weekend.

  2. This is part of the reason I switched to ebooks. Easier to keep track of, less space taken up on my shelves. Plus, I don’t have to worry about in-laws snooping through my library and then commenting on my choice of books lol.

    I have a ton of books on shelves still, but they’re mostly books for the kiddos or books that you just can’t get (or shouldn’t get) in ebook form – like some self help books, language books, textbooks etc :)

    My need to read almost exceeds the need to breathe.

    • Do they do that? Comment on your choice of books? LOL :D
      I like reading on my Sony, but I just can’t imagine a world, or even my house, without paper books. And yes, the absorb space, but I like gazing at them, wondering what I’m going to choose next :)

  3. I love reading as well. While, my bookshelf while still growing my wife’s is shrinking as she loves the Nook. Not sure what bookshelves will look like in the future.

I wish thee as much pleasure in the reading, as I had in the writing. (F. Quarles)
