Lol.<br /><br />I do have several ebooks on my Android phone, but there's that special something about printed books.... And I love to carry one around with me everywhere, even if I know I won't have a chance to read it! Lol.

I don't like to cook and so it is provides a nice balance, I think. <br /><br />I like to have a book with me too--although my e-reader will do. I sometimes like to sneak off and read, especially if everyone seems to be watching sports on television or if I Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-62297555360778804742016-11-19T01:01:22.107-05:002016-11-19T01:01:22.107-05:00Hi, Elizabeth!

Even if I know I won't be able to read it, I still NEED to have a book with me. Like Kitty said in her comment, it gives me a feeling of comfort. <br /><br />It sounds like you have a big family get-together. We have a small family, so there isn't that much hustle and bustle.

Lol.<br /><br />I LOVE the following quote from your comment: "Something about knowing the paperback is there just provides me comfort." That's EXACTLY how I feel!! I get the warm fuzzies just from knowing my precious book is there!

Now, though, I do interact with my family more, since I don't see them every single day. But I still carry a book to the feast with me! Lol.
