Mailbox Monday [4]

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia @ A Girl and Her Books, and hosted by Amy @ Passages to the Past for the month of April.

Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind. 

- Jeanette Winterson
