Gratitude #18 : Books

Books! I do love books. I love the feel of opening a book for the first time and running my hand along that first page to get the book to lay flat. I love the feeling of the pages as I turn them. I love the sense of accomplishment when I finish a book and instantly look forward to the next page turner.


I love being able to sit down with a book and instantly I am transferred to a new location, or in some instances to a time gone by. Admittedly, reading is one of the most selfish things I do. If the book is able to capture me from the beginning, I will spend hours reading the book and blocking out the rest of the world.

There are so many great authors out there and I am grateful that they are willing to share their talents with the world, if for nothing more than my entertainment.
