  2. I'd be asking for them to move my bed into this room - how lovely it is. I love books!!!

    I've never stayed in a hotel that had a library.:(

    Books decorate my entire home, they are everywhere, on every table, nook and cranny.

    When I traveled in Europe, I would not take many clothes, but had a backpack full of books.:)

    Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing all your exciting adventures, darling. xoxox

  14. I love to stay in that place. After being jet-legged sometimes you just want to sit-up, relax, and enjoy a book. I need more reading materials. I'm sick of magazines.

  26. I too LOVE books, me and manpiece are big collectors. it sucks though we'll head into a thrift shop meaning to shop for clothes and we head straight to the books and leave clothless but with a bag or two of books...ah well.

    I hope you have a splendid weekend!!!

  31. What a nice library...in a hotel! It's nice to see it as more and more places seem to be replacing libraries with internet cafe type rooms.

  37. I love when I travel and they have a book borrowing system in place! I've found them on cruises, at beach houses we've rented, it's my favorite. I always tend to read faster than I think I will and tear through my stash too quickly! -e
