I love reading! Every few weeks I go to the library and come home with a new stack. Once when we were traveling, I read books on my phone, but it wasn't as nice as reading a real book.
No more libraries here - too bad. The net has replace everything (I was telling @Tidgy's Dad ). I just cannot manage to read books on the net.

I get free books on my Kindle through bookbub.com. At first it was hard for me to let go of the actual book, and read on an electronic device, but I soon got used to it. It has its drawbacks, but you learn to over look them. I have a three bedroom house. One bedroom is mine, one is for my doll collection and the third is the library:

The books are in alphabetical order according to author. Mostly murder mysteries.

This house used to be where my daughter and her family lived. We traded houses about 20 or so years ago. My grand daughter who now lives in New Jersey, had my library as her bedroom. She sometimes told us of seeing a spirit in her bedroom. I'm not a superstitious person, however, I find it very difficult to grab a book and sit in there on that comfortable couch and read. I don't spend any time in there at all.

I must post some pictures of mine.
Also mostly alphabetical by author for fiction, but by category for factual stuff.

Yes I am well thanks Gillian, I hope you are too. It makes me sad and angry when libraries get shut down. My local library is under threat of closure unless volunteers can be found to run it..
I hope they find someone.
Libraries should be a priority for council spending.

Am so far so good, thank you. :)

I understand you. ;) Libraries seem to cost more than their owners can afford. Rent, employees, power bills and so on. People give away books they do not need to libraries. Therefore it is only the books that are "free of charge" so as to say. Moreover, people do not read much here, I regret to say. :(
