piles of books
in the midst of my packing I’ve stumbled on the most beautifully large collection of my old books. I love flipping through the pages to find some mementos, highlighted passages, and lose myself in the past worlds that I lived in. Among the authors: Francine Rivers, Henri Nouwen, Honore de Balzac, St. Augustine, Dave Eggers, Stephanie Meyers, and Jeannette Walls.
