Motivational Monday


I LOVE BOOKS SO MUCH, 
I'LL KISS THEM!
(Little girl at local library)

This so could've been me at that age.

Oh, who are we kidding? This is so me right now, at this age.   

What about you all? How much do you love books?

  1. Probably not enough to kiss them. And if I started kissing my iPad, my wife would have me committed.

    1. I never even thought about kissing ebooks (iPads or Kindles, etc.) Too funny! :)

  2. LOL at Alex's comment. :D
    That little girl was too cute! And could have been me at that age as well. One of my favorite things was going to the library and picking out a stack of books to bring home.

    1. I still go the library and bring home a stack of books. Although now I put a handful "on hold" along with browsing the New Fiction shelf. :)

  3. Alex's comment made me laugh. I do feel like kissing a few good books, mind it, not all, but just the ones I loved reading ;)

    1. Ah, so you're more discerning about the books you'll kiss.... :)

  4. Yup. That was me when I was a little girl. I couldn't wait to read big books. I marveled at them. Now, I pick out a ton of books that I know I won't be able to finish it time. :P

    1. I've got a pile of library books that I probably won't finish before their due dates, but I'll probably be able to renew at least most of them.

  5. I'm reminded that my then future husband and I had spent many dates at the local library. How could I not love a man who loved books as much as I did. :)

  6. I do completely love them. Even as I write this, I have the car packed to trade some in. Tomorrow I'll return a few to the library. Books are my joy.

    1. I think we all need t-shirts that say the last sentence of your comment - "Books are my joy." :)

  7. I love books so much I smell them and hug them. I've never tried kissing them :-)

  8. I've never actually kissed a book but I totally get wanting to! I have thrown them across the room when they upset me, though...

    1. Well, since you've wounded them, maybe you should kiss their boo-boos. :)

  9. Not enough to kiss them, but I would totally hug my books.

  10. That's adorable haha .. I love books so much that it upsets me when they get destroyed.. or when my kiddo leaves them laying on the floor :(

  11. I remember when I was a kid, I got so annoyed when a book I'd lent out would be returned with folded edges on the cover or an obvious spill on its pages. That's how much I loved and still love books!

    1. I don't actually lend books out anymore. If I keep a book, I really like/love it and don't want it to get ruined. I do donate and give away other books, though. :)

  12. I'm with you, Madeline. I love books so much I buy them when I already have plenty of unread books in my house, then go to the library and check out a couple more, and sometimes even read one on my tablet or Kindle (although I prefer the feel of a real print hardcover).

    1. Yes! I have shelves of unread books that I own, a stack of books borrowed from the library, and a bunch on my iPad/Kindle app. :)

    1. I think I'll start worrying if the books start kissing back.... :)
