I love absolutely LOVE books! The look, the feel, the promise of a great story or enriching lesson. Whatever I am currently reading is always in my purse so whenever I have a free moment, I can read.
At home, our bookcase--filled with beloved favorites--is one constant of our decor. It has become a tradition to rearrange them every year on either Memorial Day or Labor Day. The last time I rearranged my books I sorted them by color, and I like the rainbow effect.
On our shelves... (and sorted by genre)

| Our bookcase this past holiday season. |
In December, we moved the bookcase to the entryway in order to accommodate the Christmas tree. I was hesitant about putting it there, but really love how it looks!
Watching my children learn to love reading makes my heart sing!
