They were good for a child's introduction to them, but after that phase it was better to read the real thing. My grandfather carefully preserved the dust jackets, so I never knew the covers looked like that lol.eshetchayilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671289701650121065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638863761357353400.post-57262820398955330642013-03-28T10:53:05.277-05:002013-03-28T10:53:05.277-05:00Well, I was blessed by my mom who actually had a R...Well, I was blessed by my mom who actually had a Readers Digest membership so she was shipped these lovely gems on a monthly basis for a period of time. I've inherited maybe 20 to 25 of them and have loved them for years and years. And, yes, I've actually READ some of them!!!<br /><br />Love, love your style.

Not about books, but anything. He is so not into design or my blogging life, so he doesn't appreciate all the tweaking I do. Or that my simple powder room paint makeover has now turned into a $300 project. Oops. But he does see that this stuff makes me happy, and he realizes that until I do it, I'll just keep bringing it up until it drives him absolutely nuts. You'd think he'd learn to just nod and smile from the get-go, right?!Hollie @ I'm Busy Procrastinatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186733812673111574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638863761357353400.post-50990513190649056382013-02-27T09:53:50.020-06:002013-02-27T09:53:50.020-06:00Super cute books!
