I just do. And I have such fond memories of the vintage Scholastic books that whenever I see one that I remember from the 60's, I want it! Meanwhile - I still hold out hope that I can have a REAL library some day. Floor to ceiling shelves to house all of our books - yes - and one of those rolling ladders!

I once had to have a parent-teacher conference, including my DAD (rare occurence), because I flunked a 10 point daily quiz. One 10 point quiz, out of the whole year of doing really well. Even my Dad asked him why we were all there. Guess Mr. L wanted to scare me straight or something. Just looking at his buggy eyes did that for me! Moving on: Stars and dogwood blossoms, I love that book cover! Lynn McComas and I used the Secret Language book as a dictionary and made up some of our own secret words to go with. I still have it somewhere. I had a lot of the Scholastic books. The teacher would pass out a little catalog-like thing and you could order them for very little money. Maybe that started my own love affair with owning books. Don't ever apologize for loving and owning books!
