This is for Sabrina's Tickle challenge...I went with 2 different, not necessarily related themes. Since we were still pretty much locked down in 2021 I didn't do any traveling or go to any concerts or anything sort of special like that. I chose to highlight what I did do to keep my sanity. I'm so thankful for our wonderful library here...I've read 60 books this year (will end with 61) and that has certainly been a highlight for me.
My inside picture is posted separately...I'm not good at combining photos...

One of my greatest sorrows was when my eyesight got too bad to read (even the large print books). In my hay day I would read upwards of 5 books a week! Fun images and love the vibrant colors.

How lovely is this, I like this girl surrounded by her books, Polly, with the wonderful sentiment! This is what my little Will does at age of 2, I hope he keeps it up~ You have certainly read a lot of books!

Wow. That's a lot of books! I started reading one this year. I think I made it to Chapter 2. Unless you count all the books I've read to my kids--then I've read like 700. Or rather the same one 700 times...

Lovely young reader, lovely coloring and lovely card! And the sequins give it a glamorous look. Pretty amazing, 61 books - that’s more than one a week! Great sentiment as well.

Great card. This reminds me of days past. My brother, sister and I would head to the library with a wagon, get the limit of 12 books each, read them all then head back in a week to get more. 61 books is quite an accomplishment.
