B&b + ex libris


Here we are, (B) + (b) I was dinkin' around with my photo editor, and kinda liked the way this turned out :) What does ex libris mean? well wiki says:
Ex Libris is a Latin phrase, meaning literally, "from books." It is often used to indicate ownership of a book, as in from the books of... or from the library of'...'
I love it when people post pictures of their houses, mainly of their books in the context of their houses, so I decided to show you our living room :) It is lined in books!
This last time we moved I actually put them in alphabetical order by author, I love it, it makes things so easy and I like having a system. There is nothing worse than knowing you have a book that you really want to read, and you can't find where it is in the shelves!!!
Where are your books?? I'd love to see!!

to underline, or not to underline

I am a devout underliner, I love reading my markings later on. I love being able to find what I enjoyed about the book. I also write tons of stuff in the margins, interesting things that I think go with the book, or things like (WOW!) or (faith) so that I can refer back to quotes and themes.

Are you an underliner or an anti-underliner? At my latest book club meeting I was the only underliner, everyone else had their books in pristine condition...I love reading a well read and enjoyed book, that is probably why I do it. I also mark in the back the page numbers for things that I will want to look back on, quotes and interesting themes.

To underline, or not to underline...what do you think?
