A quiet rainy Sunday afternoon reading my book...

“The world was a terrible place, cruel, pitiless, dark as a bad dream. Not a good place to live. Only in books could you find pity, comfort, happiness - and love. Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn't ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly.”
Cornelia Funke

....Indeed, books have a soul, they are like people, they have a smell, their own story, their secrets, their dark sides,......Also they bring you peace, joy, time for yourself, bring you balance and feed your soul. :)
