I am sure I have mentioned this before but I always feel whenever I am talking about books I need to say it as a disclaimer. I own a lot of books but I am not a big reader. I am not sure why I have so many books but I can tell you something about each and every one of them made me purchase it.

Books for me are a comfort. I enjoy looking through books that have lots of pictures be it illustrations or photos. Yes, I have more "Coffee Table" books than should legally be allowed. Coffee Tale book to me is just slang for a grown-up picture book.

Book Sale in June in Ulster County, New York

I have known to buy a Tourism type photo book during some of my trips. My perfect trip sovereign is a local author and photographer teaming up on a book full of the history of the place I spent my vacation. Every time I open the pages it takes me back to my visit.

Not all of my books are vacation related some are ones I swear I will read, some are ones I started reading 4 and 5 times, and others are books I use to reference things I enjoy doing or making. I have a ridiculous number of cookbooks because sometimes I like to try a new recipe.

My book habit is one reason I seek out opportunities to buy books that are at a good price and if you can throw in that it benefits a good cause it is a win-win, That is why I keep my eyes peeled for annual book sales like the one come up later this month in Gardiner.
