NO ONE knows those classics like I do. LOL.<br /><br />anali--i have one more confession: i fall in love with characters in books. have you ever done that?Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-34994079473615642872006-12-13T12:36:00.000-05:002006-12-13T12:36:00.000-05:00I have some confessions too.

I only buy books that I think I'll refer to again, otherwise I just borrow them.Lisa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096947438461486505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-88997785266400118662006-12-13T08:50:00.000-05:002006-12-13T08:50:00.000-05:00True confessions Nance: I have thrown some books i...True confessions Nance: I have thrown some books into the TRASH. Most recent book I bought in hardcover that I threw away without even finishing? Conversations with God by Neal Walsh (or Walsch?). <br /><br />I do use the library but I still buy quite a few books. I only keep the ones I really like. Why I do that, I don't know, because I never re-read books I've read before, unlike my husband who can revisit the same book over and over and over again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-19132472712388100162006-12-12T20:13:00.000-05:002006-12-12T20:13:00.000-05:00You'd look fab in a miniskirt...50 is the new 30 y...You'd look fab in a miniskirt...50 is the new 30 you know!?!?<br />I'm a lover of the library, though I don't always enjoy giving the books back, and paperback books? Call me cheap but the way I see it is that the books all have the same words, right? And what a bargin!<br />You're right, dogs are a TON of work. I'm the proud owner of 2 American Bulldogs and one Jack Russell. In fact, they're so much work that my husband tells me that if I want to have a baby we need to get rid of 2 of my beloved poochies!?!??!

And while the furnishings at The Dept. are not MADE of books, I do decorate with books; yes, even the bad ones keep their homes. I cannot bear to harm a book, nor inflict a bad one on anyone else.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-40278941320705465132006-12-12T08:38:00.000-05:002006-12-12T08:38:00.000-05:00Size 2?

Whoa.<br /><br />This was so worthwhile--for me anyway. I liked this meme because you could make it into anything you wanted.<br /><br />Now I'm wondering if the furniture at The Department headquarters is made of books. Why own a coffee table book when you could have a coffee table made of books? Do you get rid of your duds?<br /><br />When I get a bad book, it has to LEAVE. It can't sit on the shelf and consort with the good books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
