Please take a peek at a new journal I started where I plan to talk about nothing but books, authors and reading!! Here is some of my first entry (just an introduction) in the new journal:
"Beware the Man of One Book" -- AnonymousI cannot remember a time when I could not read. I cannot remember a time when I did not have books all around me. I was taught to read by being read to by my mother and older sister, Barbara. She is the one who first began to teach me the necessary mechanics of reading, so that I was already a reader on an elementary level when I started school. I was taught to read by the sight at any given time of one or both my parents or of any of my siblings with their noses buried in the pages of a book or magazine. I was taught to read by the joy I felt when I heard the rustle of pages turning, the smell of a new book or of news print, the sight of all those words filling all that white space ..... I'd like to share on the pages of this journal what is on my shelves and what I think about the books and authors. I'll also be sharing my quests for certain books that round out a series or collection. Maybe by doing this readers will find some enjoyment, be reminded of an old favorite or be inspired to try out a new author.
Check it out here and leave me a comment!

I hear ya there. Thats why I am not a big fan of books on tape, or e-books.
I love to have the book in my hands, listening to the pages turning, the smell of the print. To me, it is heavenly.
Great Entry. I loved it.
TAG!!! You're IT!!! JAE
