Oh how I love books! I visited a house this summer that had shelves of old children's books. It was like a little piece of heaven to me. :)

Great pictures, Hosanna!!!

Eek Hosanna!!! Edgar Allen Poe! You should read Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography one day, I really liked it. The other day I had six dollars and I was going to buy protien bars but I accidentally spent it on vintage books! But none of them as old as 1896... What the heck? <3
