Books

Curling up with a good book and a mug of hot coffee is just what the day called for. It was cold and gray outside.


Otis and Riley relaxed and enjoyed the crackling fire, while I got toasty warm under the fleece throw.

I just finished reading "Mrs. de Winter", the sequel to the old classic "Rebecca" by Daphne de Maurier. Did you know there was a sequel to Rebecca? I didn't until I found it one day on my travels to Goodwill.

The book I'm reading now is "Power of a Woman" by Barbara Taylor Bradford, another book I found at Goodwill. Our Goodwill has tons of books and it's always fun to browse and of course, bring one home.

The accumulation of books around our house is growing and I find it hard to let go any of them. I love books. I use them for decorative pieces throughout the house.

You'll find them on side tables,

in the breakfront, along with other accessories and family photos,

on the coffee table in the living room,

in the dining room cubboard,

in the kitchen,


in the study on top of the desk,

and even on the shelf above our bed in the bedroom.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot

I hope you're enjoying a good book today!
