    I absolutely loved this video! You cracked me up! 😂 Also, I love your conclusion that you felt blessed to own so many books while some can’t own one. It touched me and made me feel blessed to own mine. ❤ Now I’m off to go count my books!🤣💞

    I attempted to learn Italian a couple years ago. I enjoyed it more then the other languages I tried to learn.
    I play the ukulele. Well, I'm a bit rusty now, since the guitar is more my thing, but it was really fun and I want to get back into it

      I just think Italian is so beautiful. I love all things Italian honestly 😆 and I took Spanish in high school and both languages are fairly similar so I figured it might be a bit easier to learn the language … but it also gets confusing sometimes 😂

    Just think about like this.. firstly you need 1,000 books to have a library supposedly… and most of the books you buy are used so your not even paying full price!!! Which is the way to go!!! And you read a lot so if you stopped r buying you’d run out eventually!
