The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, it was relaunched on February 15, 2013 by Billy @ the Ramblings of a coffee addict. . Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
This weeks question is: Are books a must-have in your home? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
Yes. I absolutely can’t imagine living in a house without books. Even as a child when we weren’t well off, we went to the local library every week so we still had books. Now I can afford to buy my own, they are an essential. My husband is just as bad so we have books everywhere.
I think the Covid pandemic and the resulting lock downs really made it apparent how much I need my own books. If I hadn’t had my book collection to reread, it would have been so much harder to get through that time of being confined to our homes.
I’m lucky enough to live in a house with quite a bit of space (empty nester!!!!) so we have room for book storage. Last year, we cleared out a tiny room and created a book room which I just love.
As well as the bookshelves in here, we also have 4 other bookcases dotted around the house.
I’ve passed this onto my own daughter too who moved to the US last year and spent a fortune shipping her books over to Kansas City.
What about you? Are books a must have in your home?
