I am sitting in my reading room thinking of something to write about (and wondering how I am ever going to make it through the month of March!).
I am an empty nester, and my reading room is my daughter's old bedroom. She has golden oak shelves that line the perimeter of three walls. It didn't take me long to fill those shelves with books, taking them from storage boxes and stacks in my classroom and my own bedroom.
Looking around at the shelves, I have concluded that I have a real problem. Most of the books I have not read...yet! And, I have several bags full of more titles that I haven't shelved.
Many of these books I have had for years and some I just bought this weekend, thinking, "I am going to read this one next", or "As soon as I read this one, I will take it to school."
I might have to change those thoughts to, "Once I retire, I will have time read all these books!"
Whatever my logic, I don't think I will run out of reading material anytime soon.
No, there is no such thing as too many books! My summer project is to purge things (not books) from my middle bedroom "office" so I can reorganize and make it a more welcoming place to read and write.
ReplyDeleteMove Echo Mountain to the top of your pile! I'm intrigued by Laura Ingalls is Ruining My Life and Property of the Rebel Librarian. Retired and still never enough time to read all the books!
ReplyDeleteI too am wondering how on earth I'll make it through March!
