I simply LOVE books in general, quilting, sewing, gentle mysteries, autobiographies, educational, cookbooks, novels...love the feel...love the smell ...love the print...love the glossy colored pictures...love the paper jackets (those that have them) and nothing can replace that. I have a Kindle and a Kindle Fire...they serve a purpose but will never replace a lovely book in my hands. A book, to me, is warm and inviting...the digital equivalents are cold and unfriendly...at least to me. I like the ability to underline a word or phrase in instructional books or to highlight with a yellow marker...makes it personal. Have donated in my lifetime more than 300 books to local libraries and it's pleasing to see them on the shelves for others to use.
