Books are Great Friends
I am traveling right now to my old town and feeling a little homesick since it is a third world country. The first thing I did with my 6 book loving children after we got settled was visit the local library. It is tiny compared to what we just left. Back home we have a service with our library where they deliver books to our front door. Going back to our little library is definitely a step down, but we enjoyed it none the less.
My children were excited as they saw familiar books they had read in the past. The older children were recommending favorite books to their younger siblings. My little ones were grabbing some of our most loved books from the shelf. The only problem with the library is that we can only check out 4 books each. We are used to being able to check out 100 books per library card in the US. Nevertheless, we found some great books, making the trip a success.
I have to say that when you fall in love with reading and find stories that you love, it is like meeting an old friend. They always deliver that special feeling that you get from reading a favorite book. This week, my old friends are seeing us through our moments of boredom and lack of things to do.
This week I will post book reviews for some of our favorite all time books so stay tuned.
