For the love of books

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.” Marcus Tullius Cicero

This is a pic of the bookshelves in my room. In fact I have one or two in every room in my home. They are a constant companion. I can’t imagine life without them. Some are permanent fixtures that I turn to time and time again and some are there to entertain me when I need down time or to teach me more about a topic that I am currently interested in. Some titles made my curiosity antenna stand straight up😜. No matter the reason they found their way onto my shelves, they are each loved and treasured. I am very grateful for my love of reading and, to the thousands of authors who tap away at their keyboards bringing their stories to life, I say thank you!

Do have a bookshelf or two? Which are your favourites?
