-My Private Library
My Personal Library
One of the joys of creating an online diary is the freedom and limitless posting options that are available. As long as your ideas are flowing your posts or entries will be ongoing.
Well, getting on with this entry … recently I started doing something that I haven’t really done with any regularity in a number of years and that was reading for pleasure. Actually, for the last few years I have been building a small library of hardcovers … something that I kept promising myself I was going to eventually indulge in … However, I am only now starting too reap the literary benefits of owning that small cache. Now, the size of this little venture won’t make the Guinness Book of Records but it will make the ‘Sadie’s Hall Of Wonders’.
And honestly, it’s quite surprising how sometimes such small things can produce so much joy … you see, just knowing that I possess my own private library is a source of both delight and pride. There is a lot to be said about things that have been created with your own hands, or developed due to your own personal efforts. And what makes this an even bigger BLAST is that at least 75% of the books in my collection were purchased from the Dollar Tree. Now, this isn’t a Dollar Tree promo and no, the books that I have aren’t from authors no one has ever heard of before. A few years back, DT was stuffing there shelves … I guess with overstocked items or maybe books from business that went under … in any case they had some really great titles.
Novel Purchases
So, every week I would buy one or two titles and before ‘you knew it’ I had a pretty impressive collection.
And another thing … I start gushing when I think of just how huge a savings I’ve generated by making these frugal purchases … it really brings a smile to my FACE!
