Welcome to Litsy!

📚 Are you a bibliophile or just a voracious reader? What do you think is the difference between the two?

Both. Bibliophile because I love books as objects, as art. Adding books to my library is one of my great pleasures. Voracious because I read a ton. No matter how many books I read a year, it will never feel like enough!

Pictured is one of my favorite books about books. Holbrook Jackson was a true bibliophile.

1. Mine has my blog info, and also #Booked2018 info. Oh, and my name.
2. Whenever I‘m getting ready to follow them. Occasionally after that.
3. No quotes, but details of where “bibliophage” comes from.
4. Yes
5. I look at my Litfluence a few times each week. More if I‘m close to a milestone.

"Your library is your portrait" -Holbrook Jackson

#TBRtemptation post 3! Jackson explores the allure of the book as a medium with curative and restorative properties. It's not only looking at why we read, but looking at where we read: journeys, mealtimes, the toilet, bed, prison, etc. Some consider this thick book selected essays in everything you can think of about books, such as the differences between bibliophiles & bibliomanes. A seminal treasure trove indeed. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
