Once upon a time, when I was a young girl, I had a lot of dreams and visions about how my life would be when I was an adult. In every single one of them I had A LOT of books. These books would of course be stored in my specially designed library (I made diagrams) which took up an entire wing of the castle where I would someday live happily ever after with whichever member of The Rolling Stones eventually won me over.
As I got older I began to realize that the whole castle thing was perhaps a tad unrealistic and I made the compassionate choice to live without both Mick and Keith rather than break either one of their hearts. And yet I never did quite let go of the A LOT of books idea.
Fast forward about thirty years and what I had was a classic case of "Too many books, not enough shelves". So in 2012 I did two things I never, ever, not even in my wildest dreams, thought I would do: I got rid of some books (gasps of shock and awe) and I got a Kindle (stunned silence).

My Library with less books. |
Of course I still love actual books and will still buy them, keep them, look at them, touch them, smell them and yes, even read them. However, the first time I held my Kindle, a magical thing happened; I realized it was possible for a woman who lives in a cabbage to have a castle sized library.
And she read happily ever after.
