Like most self portraits there's a certain amount of self flattery involved so the books I've kept reflect well on my younger self - or so my older self believes!Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-55282943179471520432014-04-03T09:57:24.677+01:002014-04-03T09:57:24.677+01:00Agree whole-heartedly.

Why ever did I like that? And then of course there are the familiar friends that slip seamlessly back into our lives.Bookhoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101346534682901240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-24140415085515005682014-04-03T09:55:51.383+01:002014-04-03T09:55:51.383+01:00Lovely post.

I think it's almost better than buying them because you have the added element of surprise!CGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256456742503046710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-8960825302245371882014-04-02T22:17:05.029+01:002014-04-02T22:17:05.029+01:00Lovely post, Hayley, and how I agree with it!

And finding forgotten books among our own collections is like going to the world's most customised bookshop - and, second time around, the books are free!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.com
