I wonder if I'd get as much reading them within the pages of many? I like them here, each one singular. I wonder if anyone has ever thought to lay them all out in book form? OH! That'd make it a book, one sentence laying on top of another.

After the presents were opened and we children had our coveted Selection Boxes to munch on (we didn't get sweets as often as today's kids do) I'd head to my upstairs bedroom to select a book and immerse myself in adventures! With many pleasurable hours of reading ahead of me, my books seemed to prolong the Spirit of Christmas.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-24402851603861247442009-01-02T17:50:00.000-08:002009-01-02T17:50:00.000-08:00Enjoy your day, curl up and read those books.

These were toy catalogues for adults. Now, most of those shops have been devoured by the likes of Barnes and Nobles. <BR/><BR/>No catalogues arrive in the mail.<BR/><BR/>However, I have a membership to a wonderful place, The New York Society Library (www.nysoclib.org)<BR/>and have access to every book ever published or to be published.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to all readers all around the world. Let us all trade our favorite authors and give each other the great pleasure of stretching, pleasing and challenging our minds.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15767856590028238852009-01-02T14:21:00.000-08:002009-01-02T14:21:00.000-08:00I have never before heard of "Notes from Walnut Tr...I have never before heard of "Notes from Walnut Tree Farm", but now I shall seek it out!

I was entralled with Deakins writing, he draws you into his world, I was very sad to get to the end of the book, also the fact that he died is such a loss to the nature loving public ..<BR/>I read mainly non-fiction, trees, plants, beez - you name it. I have some good bee/nature books to recomend if you are interested, `Honey and Dust` by Piers Moore Ede being a great read. I enjoy your blog ..Ngaiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413136577784656552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-74864730313717137592009-01-02T10:26:00.000-08:002009-01-02T10:26:00.000-08:00What a delightful Christmas stocking!What a delightful Christmas stocking!Mistlethrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051761614198488243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-9174003243063862852009-01-02T08:50:00.000-08:002009-01-02T08:50:00.000-08:00Books are always high on my Christmas list, too.
