I was very happy to see that the pile of books in your photo were NOT the latest best sellers but tried
and true books from the past. I have piles of those oldies but goodies sitting around my house waiting to be opened and read. Unlike fashions, books never go out of style!
I LOVE LIBRARIES! When I retired from teaching I was lucky enough to get a part time job at our local library. Almost all my books are from used book sales and I wouldn't part with any of them until I have absorbed them.
September's just about gone, and I'm finally reading this. Have been spending September veering between being excited about taking a photography class so I can know how to use my camera out of auto mode, learning to chant from the Torah for the high holidays (which is tremendously meaningful and exciting) and seeing if I can avoid being so exhausted by the middle of the day that I have to nap to make it through the rest of the day. It's a conundrum.

I took that photo at a local antique shop! My own library is a mix of old and new, but honestly 99% of what I read comes from the library.

I thought I was going to become a librarian when I was young. I think I would have enjoyed that path too.
My new nightly ritual for fall is making a pot of tea, lighting some candles, and watching an episode of Lost… then reading for the rest of the night!
That sounds very cozy.
I love your newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to write it😊
Ditto :)
Thank you so much!
