sorry, balmer, this book is charm city.
everything about this book is wonderful. usually, i am not a fan of books in rhyme, but this one is not cloying at all, and i love love love the illustrations. especially this one:
i am someone with plenty of injuries from multi-tasking.
this is a story about a woman who has "too many" books, but honestly, if you can still vacuum, you do not have too many books. the crazyperson in me looks at all the unused space in that drawing and thinks - "nahhh, you're ...more

This is an utterly charming book. The illustrations and story are both wonderful and work so well together. This book is created by a wife (story) and husband (illustrations) team, and I was captivated.
I probably identify too much with the main character (who seems to be based on a real person) and who accumulates way too many books but finds a creative solution to her predicament. Maybe someday…

This is one of my all-time favorite books. My favorite little independent bookstore when I was in high school was called The Paper Bag Princess, and one time my mom went in without me and the owner called her over. "This book reminds me of your daughter," she said. "You have to get it for her!"

Sarah Stewart tells a wonderful tale with real heart and real characters. This book is beautifully illustrated but the real shinning aspect of it is the story line.
This story (in rhyme!) is about a woman who really really really really loves books and reading. I can relate!
She learns to read at a young age. She reads while vacuuming (and runs into the wall). She has cats. As an older woman, she moves in with a female friend. In the end, she finds a way to share the books she has accumulated over a lifetime.
A quick, fun read.

Cute Story, Elizabeth loves books. Books are her hobby, her only passion really. She acquires more and more until, she finds a solution.
Cute.
