The covers and bindings so badly damaged that it seemed like an okay idea at the time, but now I can't bring myself to separate the pages. Maybe someday, for the right project...<br /><br />I love reading the old, old children's series on my Kindle. It makes me feel much less guilty than carting around an 80 year old book and hoping I don't accidentally hurt it. <br /><br />As for the crafts, I'm wishing I'd kept the Harry Potter books my son managed to destroy while reading them. Those would've been perfect pages to cut up and use for Christmas ornaments and the books were already a lost cause.

I fought getting a Kindle for a long time. Now the book shelves have other collectibles on them and my Nexus7 (Joe now has my Kindle) has over 800 books on it. I keep the Bible by my bed and the Nexus goes with me in my purse, and rests next to the Bible on my bedside table.<br /><br />Times, they do keep changing!!Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-51149213859142058642014-02-27T18:45:52.244-06:002014-02-27T18:45:52.244-06:00I collect old children's books too and I'm...I collect old children's books too and I'm always amazed at the beautiful illustrations!

Some are early Amish readers gifted to me by Amish friends, and others are from my great-uncle who was a teacher and elementary school principal.

I too love holding a book in my hand but also will use my Ipad when I need to. Hubby isn't a reader so he doesn't understand my passion.<br />O.k. so here's a question for you-I went to the store today to get McCormick Perfect Pinch Mediterranean seasoning and couldn't find it-so came home and googled it but it isn't on McCormick's site. Then on Amazon it said it has been discontinued. So is it possible for you to email me the specific ingredients so I can duplicate it tonight, as I'm making the chicken pesto. I could just add Italian seasonings but sure it must have more than that in it. Thanks so much!!!!<br />Hugs,NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-35960236921361163602014-02-27T12:40:20.146-06:002014-02-27T12:40:20.146-06:00I love my kindle..

Have you noticed that children were expected to read at a much higher level?<br /><br />Most of our books are used.<br /><br />I have not cut up a book, but my daughter has so many copies of Alice in Wonderland. Her annotated one had so much use that it fell apart. So when I bought her a new one, we put the pages around the room. <br /><br />I don't like e readers, except for free classics that are in the public domain. My spouse liked my Kindle so much that it his now. It travels well. My daughter has and i-pad, and I'm sorry I bought it, because it is a distraction. The Kindle is better in that respect, because it does less.Butterfly 8)(8 Bungalow https://www.blogger.com/profile/12407401010841427366noreply@blogger.com
