books

Books, books, books. Before we downsized, they filled our house. But we gave away or sold tons of books when we moved, keeping only our favorites in hopes of having room for other things (like ourselves). But we still read, read, read. With two library accounts (DeKalb and Cape Cod), I always have a stack of print books and Overdrive eBooks close by.
