I loved Jan Showers' and Suzanne Kasler's this past year. But, I didn't really read as much as I would like. I love to read in bed, before I go to sleep, with the doggies all settled in around me. However, my husband doesn't like the light....but I do want to make more time to read this year. <br /><br />I'm not sure if your co-workers at Perch ever told you I stopped by back around Halloween, but I was in town and wanted to say hi! I'm sorry I missed you, but the store is fab. We LOVED that iron tree/bed, and the brown laquered room. :-)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209533406055486161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-14746329872264620972011-01-13T08:04:52.837-06:002011-01-13T08:04:52.837-06:00Living in a country where English language books a...Living in a country where English language books are like Gold !

So far I have been very successful with my daughter. When she was in the 4th grade the best form of punishment I could dish out would be "You'd better shape up or you will go to bed without reading!" To which she would reply in her horror, "No Mom! Anything but that!"Decor To Adorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359245078617786198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-79463064127119921782011-01-12T22:54:37.744-06:002011-01-12T22:54:37.744-06:00So I love books and I always have, I've colle...So I love books and I always have, I've collected them ever since I was a kid. <br /><br />BUT I once got a thesaurus and dictionary as a chanuka gift. My parents were not big on gift giving- more like the "that bike we bought you last summer ? Thats your chanuka gift." And when I unwrapped a freakin dictionary and thesaurus I cried. It wasnt even a nice set. Paperback crap. <br /><br />It sucked.Sketch42https://www.blogger.com/profile/10536244216664912207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-52721819355474563312011-01-12T21:37:16.649-06:002011-01-12T21:37:16.649-06:00I hope your readers are supporting David Baldacci&...I hope your readers are supporting David Baldacci's efforts on behalf of the staggering number of illiterate people in this country. <br /><br />Reading and travel provide the best education -- and if you can't afford to travel, a book can take you where ever you want to go! <br /><br />Books on my table:<br />Carolyne Roehm's "A Passion for Interiors"<br />Joan deJean's "The Age of Comfort" and "The Essence of Style"<br />Kathie Truitt's "False Victim"<br />"The Piedmont Virginian" (Magazine)<br />and a zillion genealogy books<br /><br />I, too, have been asking for books since before I could read!

I was thrilled to receive a Barnes and Noble gift card for Christmas and I stocked up on books for this cold winter we're are having. Nothing like snuggling up with a good book, a blanket and a cup of hot cappuccino to while away a Sunday afternoon. I have my share of stacks of decorating books that I go back to time and time again. I love looking at the rooms. Some things never go out of style. Also, my two little granddaughters love books and I hope they grow up to be avid readers too.Gerrynoreply@blogger.com
