Jackets off & a book review

Not too long ago, Pam, did a post on her blog about taking the "jackets" off her books on her bookshelf.
I love books.
I love worn books...
used books...
old books...
but I especially love their colors.  
I had taken the jackets off all the books on my bookshelves in our office...but I had hesitated taking them off my cookbooks...I guess because I thought they would get "dirty"...but then Pam shared this picture and I was sold...the colors did it for me...

so this is my little kitchen bookshelf
It was an awkward cupboard, so I took off the door and made it the cookbook shelf....
and now that the jackets are off I love it even more...I love looking at the rainbow of colors...

I love the colors of the Serendipity Sundaes book!

I am so glad I did it!

I just finished this book...
and would only give it 
✭✭
I thought of not finishing it, but kept hoping it would get better....
it didn't.

  1. What a great idea... I'm going to take the jackets off of my books too! It looks so much better without them! And I hate when I read a bad book :( Thanks for the review!

  4. We must have the same taste...I was reading this book a week ago. I could NOT get into it. I am reading a great book now...The Island...much better. Now I don't feel like I have to try and finish the Westport one. Thanks for the heads up!
