a place to read

Because some people like to know all things...
Our little room upstairs where Greta sleeps is just the place to have our books. It gets a pleasant amount of sunshine, and the low eaves cozify it. I rock Greta Rose here before her nap and bedtime, and have gotten more reading done since bringing a book up with me to these times.
I mentioned to Mama that I had decided to categorize my books a bit and had printed out bits of paper to tape on as labels, and she wanted to see. :)

My happy little paper labels:
for daily life...a good tale...for our edification...poetry...memoirs...journals & notebooks

Thank you, Kat. :) Surely I'm not the only one who wants to see the books and labels up close! It's all so fascinating! Lovely reading room. One thing (of many) that I loved about the years of nursing my little ones, was the hours of reading I got done. I'm glad for your cozy spot there. Isn't that last picture with G.R. going through the door just so adorable?

I love 'Mrs Miniver' too. You might like her book 'A Pocketful of Pebbles'.

You have a Narnia map?!? I have Tolkien maps! Cool. :)
I really like your reading area. Jealous! ;)
