A lifelong trait of mine is to read before bed.
And before going downstairs for coffee.
And anytime in between.
Any table near the bed or bedroom chair gets covered with books after a very short time.
It's like the books grow and expand overnight.
Reading is good and can be a powerful influence in our lives.
The lamp used for reading, near the bedroom chair, makes me smile.
Like me, it's very old-fashioned.
I purchased it many years ago when we still had a Salvation Army thrift store in town. It's long-gone now.
But the lampshade has remained and goes perfectly on a yard sale standing lamp that, luckily, has a glass, round table attached, for books, of course!
Ahhhhhh, books. They are sweet friends and to part with them is like chopping off an arm.
DO YOU COLLECT BOOKS?
