The lure of books!

Grandbaby day.  She has just discovered the bookcase at the top of the stairs!  She has been exploring the contents but the top row is quite a stretch.  Suddenly I see her pull out a children's bible form the third row up and I tried to stop her as it is far too difficult for her, she wrestles it from me and, to my surprise, she stands on it, with a triumphant smile to reach the others!  Wish I'd taken that photo!!

Came across this quote today: 
Shelved rows of books warm and brighten the starkest room, and scattered single volumes reveal mental processes in progress -- books in the act of consumption, abandoned but readily resumable, tomorrow or next year. -John Updike, writer (18 Mar 1932-2009)
