Favorite Thing No. 2d

 My cottage is filled with books.
There are five book cases in my parlor.
There are also stacks of books piled neatly on top of vintage luggage,
rickety side tables, cane-benches, the mantle, and the floor.
There's a bookcase in the kitchen hallway,
there's a bookshelf in the kitchen,
there's another on the 2nd floor landing,
there's a large bookcase in the guest room,
and there are four bookcases in the upstairs den.
(There are none in my bedroom, oddly enough. I shall have to remedy that...)
When it comes to books: More is seldom enough.

I love books.  Books are indeed my FAVORITE thing.

To paraphrase Frederick Fleet: this is just the tip of a very large iceberg.

Put down that book and come to Claudia's FAVORITE THING party.
