Books, Books, Books

Story Book Love Affair 

My number one Friday Favorite this week is books, libraries and my new discovery of audio books. While I’m reading the fourth book in the “Song of Ice and Fire” series (if you love the HBO show you should read the books!) I’ve finished listening to Atonement have found a way to introduce Harry Potter to Billy (we listen to it in the car) and have ventured into self help books. I’ve listened to a few chapters of The Hoarder in You and started the Five Love Languages, which I think will be great book for marriage preparation.

Audio books are wonderful because of the ability to multitask while enjoying them, but many times I want to grab hold of the books, literally, and delve into them. Slyly scanning ahead when anticipation becomes too much, or looking back to reference a theme or character.

And, yes all these books are from my local library. Because what in the world is better than free books? What are you currently reading (or listening) to?

    I definitely wanted to check out some audio books, especially since we're on a 4 day long road trip! Maybe we'll download one tonight 🙂

HELLO

Decor and home with a little bit of daydreaming and real life sprinked in. My husband and I are slowly updating our 1900 Dutch Colonial. I love hunting for vintage and flying the pacific northwest and the world with my aviator husband.
