With all the new technology replacing our old ways of life it makes me long for the old simpler lifestyle. I love bookstores and libraries. I adore walking in them to be entirely surrounded by books, cozy nooks, and the feeling of serenity. Nothing beats the smells of books old and new. It seems like books are a dying breed. To be replaced by electronic devices. Library cards, books as gifts, and paper flipping to take a dirt nap. Breaks my heart. I still prefer little book stores compared to mega stores. There are still a few independent stores open. Nothing better than to pick up a book, have a cup of tea, and recharge from the worlds constant fast paced way of living. Something so charming as going into a place filled with novels. I have just gotten back into a routine of reading. Makes me feel so courageous to finish a book and to think over the stories I just digested. I love to buy books. I may not read them all, but I get a kick out of it every time. I am planning on getting them all a lovely nook inside my head someday, but one book at a time. I implore you to support your local library and bookstore. Take your children into a world of discovery by taking them there on the weekends. Make it a family affair to open books together. Give books as gifts. Also the library is FREE!!! All those books and even movies to rent at no cost. Beat that redbox or netflix... Sure they are old movies, but they are just as charming like the books your surrounded by. Read on America, read on!
