Library Books Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

I agree! There's nothing like holding a book and the anticipation of turning the page!

I prefer reading books as opposed to my Fire. They are finally making tablets that are easier on the eyes. My new Fire bought a couple months ago is much less stressful to read books and news articles on than my old one bought over two years ago. I was using eye drops at least three times a day, as stinging and burning was a problem. Much less need for the drops when using the new product.

Your eyes might be causing you problems from looking at a screen too long. I have eye problems now as well. I get headaches - the screen can cause glare. I used to work with my dad in his office and the bookkeeper was in the offfice. I turned in my time sheet and asked for aspirin. My father looks at me and says why and the bookkeeper had to come to my defense.

After 15 minutes is when it starts bothering me. That was even before I needed glasses. Thanks for the insight :)

I have to wear glasses now - had to renew my drivers lic. I took the eye test and couldn't pass it. I was really embarrassed. I was told to go to an eye doctor and then return. Told I needed glasses - then she mentions why. Now young kids are having neck problems because of the cell phone.

I knew the neck problems would occur sooner or later. When I was driving the county bus, it seemed wherever I went I saw people with poor posture and heads bent over phones. Young people in the 70's when I was in high school/college did not have such poor posture. Backpacks in which books, sports stuff, etc. are hauled daily for many years of their young lives deserve some credit for this problem. I can see back, neck, and eyesight problems occurring at younger ages within a decade.

You are right Orinoco these are beautiful books and expensive I bet. I have one of the walls in my living room made into a bookcase ( that is full ). I also have a collection of about 200 cookbooks in the kitchen. My husband said I was not allowed to buy anymore, hahaha! I just love books.

I now have room in my kitchen for a dedicated bookcase ---- dedicated to cookbooks. I love it!

I've got a 3 shelf bookcase at one end of my kitchen cabinets, and when that got full I added another shelf on the wall up high for more of them. Have never counted them. Books that are fiction that I read I pass them to our local library. My sewing room as four shelves on one wall that are for sewing & etc.

Jamp and CatLady nice to know I'm not the only one who is addicted to books, hahaha ;-)!!! Stay safe.

My mother had 3 book shelves full of cookbooks.

I got a lot of cook books and quilting books also
some novels too
now I read ebooks on the computer
I can make the print bigger

True, I fought against the ebook reader, saying it would never replace paper. But being able to make the print as big as I need it, and able to carry over a thousand books in my handbag, won me over! I sleep very badly sometimes, it's nice to be able to lie comfortably in bed (warmer in winter, cooler in summer under the AC) and read without bothering hubby.

Ha Ha Ha :-)

I bought my husband a Nook to download books but he still buys the print versions--a wallfull and more every week.
It doesn't add much to his (or my) IQ but it keeps him happy. Of course it might help my IQ if a read a few. I think he actually reads some of them--as long as the NYT has given them a good review. It's just as well his IQ isn't any higher. He might consider me even dumber than he does now. Only kidding here. He doesn't think I'm dumb--just wrong...most of the time.

When I married Miss Right, I didn't realize her first name was Always.

That could work if you both are always in agreement. You can both be always right.
My husband likes to tell me he got his left side blown off in the war but he's all right now.
(PS he was never in any war.)

Lol

That's funny you two posted - my grandfather - dads dad would tease my grandmother - even when she was in a room. One day he told me that he teased his mil and said the wife was almost beautiful. The mil replied excuse me? He replies oh no I said most beautiful.

Me too
