So, I’m reading in the library 😉

It does make me think that a rereading of the whole trilogy in five parts is in order 😉

It’s really not just about the book, it’s about what the book brings out of you or what it makes you feel.

It's not just a book

To me they often open doors to unexpected places, or sometimes to expected places but where you often discover something new 😉 So this is a composite in photoshop of a book opening a doorway into the Shire, with a willing Hobbit ready for a wander 🙂

Books, opening doors...
