Just the art history books would be wonderful to browse through. As a librarian, discarding books isn't something I struggle with very often at work but at home, it's a different matter.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-35344958985784259172013-08-20T03:26:31.258+10:002013-08-20T03:26:31.258+10:00Lovely book, will have to check my reading log bec...Lovely book, will have to check my reading log because I can't quite remember if it was just one I wanted to read or did I actually read it?

Wouldn't you love to look at that library? <br />Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11834243825586087161noreply@blogger.com
