do you know what's excruciatingly sad and hard to swallow
the fact that we barely had any books in our house when I was growing up

@octoberthesixth Lovely, do you have a favourite author? 😊
octoberthesixth · 31-35, F
@BalmyNites Khaled Hosseini, Paul Auster, Paulo Coelho, Hugo, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Primo Levi (haven't read anything by him yet but I heard he is a great writer) Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde and many others...

My grandmother was always giving them to me. It's funny now that I think about it I don't remember her giving any to either one of my sisters.🤔

Library?

@Thevy29 Ahh, I SO get that - I’ve a Kindle & never used it, not even once! 💜
I must admit, I’m quite precious about my books now & don’t like lending them out, because people just don’t take care of them
I can sell my study books as ‘New’, because you’d never be able to tell that a page had been read - yet the last book I lent to a ‘friend’ came back with coffee stains where she’d rested her mug & a broken spine, where the book had been folded back on itself 😐
