My bookshelves are old and simply made, but I love them. Here are a few of the books on my shelves. As you can see, I love OLD books! =0)
Thanks, Mom, for all the C.S. Lewis non-fiction! =0) The Narnia books I collected on PaperBackSwap. "The Wind in the Willows" I bought after reading "Surprised by Joy" where Lewis mentioned it as one of his favorites. I loved it!
Some favorites and some I hope to read...
Ah, Tolkien! "Castle Blair" was a book C.S. Lewis read as a child.
I always adopt books on Jewish subjects when I find them at the book sale. Just a love of mine.
Remember Taylor Caldwell and Frank Perretti?
Old hymnals and Grace Livingston Hill...
I found out that G.M. Trevelyan was C.S. Lewis's history teacher in college, so I'm glad I found this "History of England" written by him. (I actually bought them before I knew of the connection. One of those book sale treasures! I love English history and literature.)
Jane Austen and Bill Peet! I read this Bill Peet book to the kids when they were younger and when I saw it at the book sale I had to rescue it! Poor little book!
Yes, I am an Austen/Bronte fan!
Scott, Trollope and Edith Wharton...
So many delightful books!

ReplyDeleteMy sister had that same Wind in the Willows. I looked at it, but I didn't read it until a few years ago. I adored it, too! We are reading Night at school. I loved looking at your books! You'll love Wayside Sacraments. She's awesome!
