So many books ~~

You know the saying, so many books, so little time…well it’s hit home for me.  I’ve been clearing out, rearranging, and sorting my books…

and I’ve done the math — I’ll never live long enough to read all the books I want to read.  Very sobering.

It reminds me of this old  Twilight Zone episode.

 

Resolutions

This captures it ~~ for me anyway ~~ Happy 2016.

 

Happy New Year

My favorite wish for all of you in the New Year…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay safe, please.

Taking a little break ~~

I’m taking a wee break, while I enjoy the many treats and delights that surround me after Christmas. Especially some lovely new books.

Back soon. Happy Holidays, Book Barmy

 

And to all a good night ~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Iceland, it is a Christmas Eve tradition to give a book as a gift.

This is called  Jólabókaflóð, or the Christmas Book Flood.

During Christmas the sun doesn’t rise until 11 am and it’s dark by 3 PM.

So after a brisk (and chilly!) afternoon walk around town with the rest of their neighbors, the whole family snuggles into their homes with a hot drink and to read their new books.

Wishing all my fellow book lovers a traditional Jólabókaflóð ~~

                                 and to all a good night ~~

Football season, my favorite time of the year
