JUL18VSNC ~ Friday, July 13, 7:00 PM ET ~ Reading/Books

Challenge Title: Reading/Books
Hostess: Melody (aka lacyquilter)
Keyword: JUL18VSNC
Date: Friday July 13, 7:00 pm ET

I love to read. In fact, I would rather sit and read a book than go to a party. I can read a complete book in one sitting, if it isn't too long. The type of books I enjoy most are historical romance, especially those set in the regency period. Most historical fiction authors try to keep the history and the geography as accurate as possible, which means you can travel all over the world just by reading.

For my challenge, I want your card to include an image of a book or an old book page.

What a great challenge - thank you Melody! I normally like to read mysteries, but lately I've been listening to audio books, particularly biographies.

The DSP paper used on this card has poems on it. I haven't read a poetry book since probably high school!
