I did a huge purge of books last year in prep for a move. I let go of a lot of my childhood books like Hardy Boys. I kept all my Trixie Beldens (they were the hardest to find) and all of my oldest ones from Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Tom Swift, and Meg Mysteries. I think old books are beautiful.

A little book art. A picture of some of my older books enhanced with some artsy editing. These are all mysteries, mostly Ellery Queen, but one is Seven Strange Clues by Margaret Sutton and only significant because it bears an inscription to my grandma when a friend gave it to her. ❤ #oldbooks #mysteries #ElleryQueen #MargaretSutton

Book I am currently reading. I read Strangers From The Sky a long time ago and really liked it. Part of my get back to reading effort is reading things that made me happy. Not everything is reread, but so far a lot are. #StarTrek

"I do believe something very magical can happen whwn you read a good book." J.K. Rowling.

I love the view from my bed. For a long time i had no place to put my books and they stayed packed away in boxes. When we moved I finally felt at home with my books all out. #books

Physical books I've read this year. Lesbians, witches, and poetry. Sounds about right for my life. I've read a bunch of ebooks too, but can't stack those for pictures. *sigh* #HarryPotter #JKRowling #MabelManey #CraigCharles #poetry #JaneBond #lesbian #witch
