My #father #read to me every night as a #child, and that is proof positive for why I turned out the way I did - a #writer and #storylover 💜💜💜

(And he carried on the tradition with my little one - see below)

When even a glimpse is sufficient to assure you that a #library is a treasure trove!

Nope!

I was traumatised by a movie called "Love for a Vampire", which I accidentally watched on TV when I was 7 years old, and it put me off them for good 😄

The way I would like to store MY #books - safe from unauthorised persons with sticky fingers! 😀

Glad to know I am not alone in my peculiarities! 😄

For sure, for sure! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Because it is certainly on the top of MY list 😀

Yes! But don't forget #libraries as well.

They don't expect you to buy anything. Instead, they give you something precious for free 💜

Surely not!

The price of #books means that you must spend MORE time in a #book store carefully selecting your precious #reads - thereby *increasing* your chances of meeting your soulmate 😉

#booksky #readersgonnaread #readingforpleasurenotwork #readers #reading #readingrocks #readerslovebooks

No, your #bookshelf is for ANY and ALL the #books you want to put there!

#Reading is not a competitive sport - it's about pleasure, not speed or achievement 💜💜💜

Unless you are #reading a particularly exciting #book in which case there may be quite a bit of noise - crying, laughing, swooning over the #love interest, and screaming at the #writer not to kill your favourite #character...

#booksky #readersgonnaread #readingforpleasurenotwork #readingrocks #read

Love this - so clever 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Fantastic initiative - wish more people would actively support minority and marginalised #writers, both national and international 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A home #library is indeed a source of quiet strength - because through #reading, your own #intelligence is fortified with the #wisdom of so many great minds!

#booksky #bookwormwriterslife #readersgonnaread #readingforpleasurenotwork #readers #read #readmore #reader #readingrocks #readerslovebooks

Repairing and restoring an old, damaged #book - and being able to #create something so beautiful out of it - is as heart #healing as the idea of companies like Anthropic tearing #books apart to train #AI is soul-destroying!

#booksky #readersgonnaread #readingforpleasurenotwork #readers #readersrock

I like my #books...in LARGE quantities 😉

How about you???

I have those floor to ceiling #bookshelves!

(But not a *sliding* ladder just yet...) 😊

The truth is, #stories can build bridges between the past and the present - and the *future*!

Between diverse people, life experiences, and even the eras that we live in... 📖🪻💜

#booksky #readersgonnaread #readingforpleasurenotwork #readers #read #readmore #reader #readingrocks #readerslovebooks

Wise words that will resonate with every #reader from a woman who said that in 100 years, she would like to be remembered for her #books rather than her looks...

And you KNOW what would happen! 😀😀😀

We would *never* go home - and be permanently sleep deprived... 😏

#Libraries should be open 24/7, in my opinion!

The problem is, our daily lives might grind to a halt as we hide from our responsibilities among the #bookshelves and #bookstacks 😄
