One of Jake’s friends came over and at the end of his visit, I overheard him tell Jake, “You guys sure do have a lot of books here!”

Yes, we read….a LOT…

Big bin of library books in the living room

Couch end table #1

Couch end table #2

Kitchen table books I’m using with my students

By the hutch for Jake’s  “DEAR” (drop everything and read”) time

In the bathroom

Just one of my three small shelves containing teaching books (not counting what I boxed up and put away this summer!)

Just one of the six big shelves in our home library room – this one is all fiction, and the other five are nonfiction and seasonal books

The top of the computer desk

Front door bin for books to grab and go

…this doesn’t include any of the bedroom piles or baskets and shelves in other rooms throughput the house!
