while perusing my bookshelf...

i'm not the kind of reader that feels the need to get their books signed for potential future monetary gain, i'm the kind of reader that likes to have their books signed because that means that the author has actually handled said book. while they may have taken years to author their work, it doesn't mean that they had anything to do with that specific one...i think that reading is a very intimate act...one's eyes caress every word, page after page, line after line...i like the idea then, that maybe, even for just a moment, the writer who penned whatever story i might spend days or weeks lost in, actually held my precious book in their hand, put pen to paper, and as a final note, placed their name in ink.....


...these were my first ever signed books.
