I Love Books!!

I've been reading lots of books lately...in fact, if you ask me how many books I'm reading right now, I don't think I even know! When I've got a moment to read, I just grab the book that's closest to me and pick up where I left off. I've bought so many books, I've run out of bookshelf space! I'm now storing books anywhere I can find a space...in the bedside table, in baskets, in my purse!! Books are everywhere!!

I've also taken up the habit of reading with a pen in hand. I used to be sooo particular about my books...no markings, be careful of the pages, etc. But, no more! I am a reformed reader! I now keep that pen near by and I mark all over the place! I underline, I write in the margins...whatever it takes....I do it!!

In light of this book reading habit I have, I've always got thoughts racing through my head about various posts I'd like to write about to share with all of you in blog-land. But, in my perfectionist ways, I get overwhelmed and never actually write! Sooo, I think I'll just start picking quotes in the books and post them...sometimes I might add a thought or two. Other times I may not. Basically, I want to write some of these quotes down somewhere (I've obviously chosen here for for all of you to join in on the fun!) so that I can remember them because in spite of all the highlighting and underlining, my memory still stinks and I know I won't ever be able to "find" these great quotes again without great searching!!

I need your help...Can you help me come up with a catchy name or acronym for these posts?

Stay tuned....a quote will be coming to a blog near you soon....

Quote-worthy quotes?

Quotable quotes?

Deep thoughts to ponder?

Not really sure those are original, but all I can think of...:)

A look in a book.

A magnifying glass in hand.

Snippets & Nuggets

Whatever. But I'm looking forward to this.

Jenica...you're so creative!! The only thing I could come up with was "quisdom" and I can't really guarantee that all my quotes will be wise!! Thanks for the ideas!!
