I think I told you several times that I suffer of Bibliomania.
Yes, yes the hobby that was considered in the 1800s as an illness in Europe. I love to read and I also collect books of fiction. You can find books in Romanian, English and German on the shelves.
Here is a photo I took after I received a gift of BOOKS from a former student. She knew my passion and brought them to me from England, where she was a college student at that time. There are some dictionaries on the table and the photo of my older daughter can be seen on the shelf on a small wooden box.
If you are curious to see what is on my other bookshelves, then, please visit here:
What's on your Bookshelf?
where I am a guest today.
See you there!
I can't get to the page yet-- it's a little early, but I look forward to seeing it tomorrow. What a wonderful student to bring you books. She was obviously very appreciative of your teachings and class.
ReplyDeleteYes, she was. she considered that it was thanks to me she got there. Well, it was thanks to her efforts, too.
DeleteI agree with Flossie...what a wonderful student! And I loved your post over at Dawn's blog with the additional photos. I left a comment for you there :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mae! Yes, you could see I really, really LOVE books, I mean reading..
Deletecarmen.....just tossing this out there; check out the website ABE BOOKS sometime; if they don't have what you're looking for, chances are it's outta print. They have sellers from all around the globe selling everything from A to Z and then some. What an awesome gift you received ...ENJOY !!! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much for your kindness!
DeleteYes, I will do it. Though I must admit I have books to last me 2 lifetimes. Have you checked my post where I am a guest today? You'll see why I say it. Thank you for checking my post!
What a wonderful student gift. And love the post. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Paulette. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteHow funny that bibliomania was once considered an illness, though I suspect my husband would have agreed with that diagnosis. I have a chronic case, myself, only now I collect e-books. I ran out of room for the print variety years ago!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and thoughtful gift from your student.
I also now collect ebooks. There are so many places with free ebooks. Though, these aren't so well crafted.
DeleteWhat wonderful post and pictures! I love a well-stocked bookcase, or two, or three. ;) I share your passion for collecting books, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary, for checking the post and leaving a comment!
DeleteI think we've become authors as we love to read.
