Kate asks us to share what books mean to us this round. What a GREAT question!!!
I could go on and on and on and on, but I’ll spare you. Instead, I’ll share a list of attributes I believe books have.
They have:
- Pages
- Words
Just kidding folks! (bad joke, huh?)
Okay, this is for real this time. (I pwommiss.)
Books are:
- Wonderful entertainment
- A way of escaping
- An opportunity to experience something outside of your own life
- A method of education and imparting knowledge
- Super fun to write
- Super HARD to write
- Absolutely, postively, 100% awesome to shop for
- A great addition to any bookshelf…or table…or bedstand…or floor…or bare inch of empty space
- A fantastic gift!
- A patient companion (really, who else would spend months turned over, pages bent, on the bedstand until you find even a spare moment to pick up?)
- A coping mechanism
- Always there for you
- A treasure.
Tell me, friends, what do books mean to you?

I agree with a lot of your list. I really love books for the escaping aspect. To dive into another world is just what I look for in a book–heck, in a movie, too!
Great post!
Great list. I agree with all your points, especially the last one. Books are a treasure!
I’m back online! I thought I would die without internet. LOL.
Oh, this is a great list, Laura. I agree with everything. Ditto!!
Hope you enjoyed your holidays.
You called it – a means of escape and a new way to view the world.
I have to agree with everything you listed–with one exception. Now that I have a Kindle, books don’t have to have pages.
My favorite place to shop is a bookstore. I am not a shopper. I hate to shop. Show me a bookstore; I’m a happy shopper! Blessings to you…
A great list! The things books can mean to people is wonderful.
Awesome list! And yes, they are hard to write
Love every single thing on that list!
And I just realized today is my day…I was thinking it was tomorrow LOL better go write my post 
LOL, I love the first list. Great joke. Aside from that however, I like your list and completely agree with it. Great way to answer this fun question.
Nice!! I really like them described as a “treasure.” That’s perfect.
Your profile is SNOWING!!! I LOVE IT! And your post is spot on!
All terrific answers and I totally agree with each and every one of them!
