The Library

A hobbit's library is second only to her kitchen.  Books are an integral part of my home, my life, and who I am.  I don't read as fast as I used to, much to my chagrin, but there is nothing so good as a good book.  The lovely Kristin at Dragondreamer's Lair hosts an annual reading challenge as a motivation to get us to turn off the tv and pick up a good book.
