I am a certified bookworm. I have a ton of books still waiting to be read back home, but I keep on buying more books anyway. At the back of my mind I somehow feel that there will come a time when I will be spending a full day just reading and reading and reading all my unread books at home. I get giddy just thinking about it.
Books have always given me solace. I like cozying up in my quiet corner and spending hours devouring stories. I have books all over our home. There’s no corner that has escaped my being a book scatterbug! It’s been awhile since I’ve splurged on books. I usually buy them one at a time, just to make sure I don’t spend too much. Last night was different though. I had a bad day and decided that I deserved a little luxury… I went on a book shopping spree!
I got:
– The Time Traveler’s Wife
– Irish Girls About Town
– A Wrinkle in Time
– Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
– Three Bedrooms in Chelsea
– Sense and Sensibility (not Sense and Sensitivity, as Ms. Melanie Marquez said in a TV show once heehee)
I practically jumped for joy when I walked out of the bookstore with a big bag full of books. I wanted to get more but the practical gal in me was already pulling me out of there. These six books have now occupied our dining area, yet another quiet corner for me.
Other books at home that are waiting to be finished are:
– The Curious Incident of the Dog … uh, how does that title go again?
– Dragons of a Lost Star
– Life of Pi
– Prozac Nation
– Natural History of the Senses
– Natural History of Love
– Tuesdays with Morrie
– I don’t remember the others anymore…
And don’t even ask me about the other books that I have yet to start reading! I just love books!
My name is Toni and I’m a bibliophile!!!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
