I love seeing the photos of your well thumbed favourite books Jacquie. Even the illustration from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, brings me back. Thanks for the permission to loose an afternoon in a favourite book! Reading is so important .

I’m partial to borrowing from the library and reserve buying for books that I absolutely love. The abundance of the library is that I can dip my toes into new ideas and stories without much commitment. My home library gets to be a curated collection of the stories that impacted me more deeply - or the references that I come back to often!

Exactly, a personal library becomes a curated collection of stories that impacted me. Well said! As I post about my books here on Accompanied, I am surprised and excited to find connections and similarities with other readers.

Ah, Narnia! I loved those books when I was a kid.

I was impressed that the Narnia stories can still capture me, after all this time. Such great memories.
