a book is something to snuggle down with on a rainy day, listening to the rain patter on your window, to get lost in the world of fantasy, the 1800's, or a murder at a dinner table.


before i go to be, i reach for my book and snuggle down in my covers, my nose dug deep into the pages. i lose track of the time, my head only keeping the time of my book, the pages captivating me, intriguing me to read more and more.


i find that more people are using kindles and nooks now, and i wonder why, as they are missing out on physically  turning the pages, their fingers brushing against the soft texture of the words imprinted into the pale sheets, the words coming to life before their eyes.

i love books.

    I totally know what you mean by this post. And yes, with kindles and iPads, and even iPhones, you'd think that books will become extinct. But they won't. Because, there is a feeling in books, as you said.
    Great post.
    fully agree with you!

    I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday when I was reading a book and looked over to see my mom reading her Nook. Nook's and Kindles are nice, but they just don't measure out to the awesomeness of good ol' book reading. Anyhooo...I totally agree with you!
    By the way...I'm seriously lovin' your blog, dear. I'm your newest follower:D
