Me too. I love the old smell. Nothing like it anywhere.
When someone reviews me, I try to review them.
When we are busy promoting our work we skip over work with low points. But, I believe if someone reviews me I should return the favor . Nice work here. Karen

Author, I also love libraries but " The smell of old pages" is one syllable to many. Fix that error and read to your heart's content, for the adventures of the world is in your fingertips. Thank you for sharing.

Well, since I own a bookstore, I can totally relate. Except I like that smell of fresh new pages. I am counting the syllables in your second line at six not five. Best of luck in the contest! Julie

Thank you! You are correct, and I am correcting that immediately. I love the smell of new pages, also. I always carry two books with me - the one I am reading and the one I will read next. Phones die. Books can stay charged forever - lol.

Ha! I love that. I want it on a T-shirt. :-)
