Honestly, I didn’t know there is such a thing as this. a special day celebrated for book lovers. All these years I was not aware of it until a friend on Facebook forwarded this lovely photo from Chicken Soup for the Soul. It was celebrated yesterday. Today, in our country, it’s already August 10.
How nice to celebrate a special day for books and readers alike. I love this photo. it shows the beauty of having books around with maybe a hot cup of coffee or tea on a rainy day.
Cicero surely was thinking of me 🙂 when he said these words. Garden and books, two things I both love. How I wish I really have a small room for a library but all I have are several shelves for our accumulated books over the years. My daughter is a book nerd, she used to buy series of publications when she was here. I remember a complete set of the Harry Potter series, all hardbound copies which she reserved at National Book Store when they were out in the market. I remember watching the movie adaptations with my kids. Remember Hunger Games, a trilogy of young adult dystopian novels written by the novelist Suzanne Collins? She also has hard-bound copies of Stephanie Meyer’s books Twilight. I haven’t read them, I am not fond of vampire stories and werewolves.
By the way, I am done with 145 books for my Goodreads’ 2017 Reading Challenge. Five more books to go, yahoo 🙂 I lately finished another memoir by Frances Mayes, author of the lovely book Under the Tuscan Sun . Under Magnolia is all about her coming of age, her growing up years in Fitzgerald, Georgia. I love the photos inside the book. It made me think of how she looked like when she was younger.
Though it’s late, I want to wish you all Happy Book Lovers Day.
