my favorite things

i've always loved reading. couldn't get enough of it when i was young ... and much of what i do now involves reading. my favorite part of reading was always discovering a new world. my ongoing struggle is that i want more books but don't have the room! our small two bedroom town home is already full, with about a thousand. i love the IDEA of having books on my phone or iPad, but the experience is just not the same.
here's a pic of a few books that have shaped my life.
