The Captive Reader

Today, ladies and gentlemen, loyal readers and random wanderers, is my 32nd birthday.  And as is tradition here at The Captive Reader I am celebrating in my favourite way: by sharing my five favourite libraries from the last year of “Library Lust” posts.  Enjoy!

   I hope it’s a very happy birthday, Claire, and that it brings you some wonderful books – or at least time to read!

   The last library is my favorite.

     Thanks, Lisa! No bookish presents this year (our family isn’t big on presents for birthdays) but I had plenty of time to read, which was wonderful.

     The last library is my favourite too. So much light, so many books, and my favourite colours. Perfection!

    Happy birthday. I hope you are having a good day. Here’s another library pic for you (neither the photo – or the library – is my own).
