Is this our house?

"... he stubbed his toe on a pile of books, which was hardly surprising. Stacks of books were piled high all over the house- not just arranged in neat rows on bookshelves, the way other people kept them, oh no! The books in Mo and Meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. There were books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory [bathroom]. Books on the TV set and in the closet small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. They welcomed Meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. And sometimes you fell over them."

from Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Hmmm.

  1. Actually that's what my house looks like after I leave Adam alone by himself for a few days.

  2. Lol. That is how it is over here sometimes but that is only because Kaleb won't stay away from the bookshelves, he loves pulling the books off over and over again. Have you read the 3rd book in that series yet? I keep forgetting to get it.

  3. No... we have the first one, checked the second one out at the library, and have only heard about the third.
