thanks for the memory of going to the library. While growing up the only bought books were special occasions such as birthdays or a box lot at a rural auction. The number one source of reading was the county library 12 miles away.

For people of my generation, books will always have a special appeal that e-books haven’t quite topped. I was happier with them after I replaced my Kobo with a Kindle paperwhite — which was a kind of heresy, as my daughter in law works for the people who make the Kobo. The backlit screen makes all the difference for me.

I love that image of the scent of the stories leaking out. Imagine if romance, horror, mystery, and westerns all had different scents and we could just let our noses lead us to our favorite genre!

In reply to Meka James. Meka waiting for a book I really wanted to read drove me crazy! I, too, have a ton downloaded to read, it's kind of like a security blanket for me so I never run out of books. Probably a result of the 'trauma' as a child in waiting for them, lol.

In reply to Robin Michaela. I love how it lights up the screen! It makes nighttime reading so much easier.

In reply to Sherry Lewis. I'm comforted in reading some of the other author posts in that it's not just me that loves the 'smell' of books. Love my writer peeps!

hahaha your kids. Gotta love when they go the extreme on age like that.

I remember the days of the card catalog. Or worse knowing there was a book you wanted to read only to find it was checked out and you had to wait for it to be returned! The horrors. Now you can one click like crazy and I do even knowing I’ll probably never read them all.

I said the same thing in my post about how you can smell the ink in a paperback. It’s definitely not odd that we can smell it, lol. And, I got a Kindle Fire just so I could read at night because the little light kept falling off my version 2 Kindle. 🙂

I love that you buy a print copy and electronic copy of favorite books. I do the same thing! Also, just between you and me, the people who don’t love the smell of books are the odd ones, right?
