While
reading our current book, The Treasure Of
Heaven, I came across two one-cent stamps fused onto the page. At one point someone had clearly tried to remove
them but only managed to tear part of the page away. So my reading is done for tonight, I will
borrow one of my fellow society members' copies tomorrow so I do not miss any of
the details. Definitely not something
you find every day; the book itself is one hundred and seven years old, I
wonder how old the stamps are?
We have a creature invading the
house. We believe it is a book mole. You know, those small creatures that create
little book mounds all over the place that seem to grow when no one is
looking. No one has actually seen the
creature, but no one will claim the book piles as their own either. So we either have a book mole, a reading
ghost, or several avid readers who do not take the time to put their own books
away and just keep adding to the already existing piles. I am going to stick with the book mole.
