What Does Your Bookshelf Say About You?On Page 17 of the MemoryGrabber is section that has peeked a lot of interest by some. This activity is for listing all (or nearly all) of your books in your bookshelf(or anywhere in your house). Some of us buy more books than others, of course, but the books we buy tell something about us. A list of them will help your descendants understand you a bit more. Let me try and make my point: None of you, as far as I know, have ever met my wife Sheri. Here is only a sampling of the books that she has purchase and accumulated over the years. After looking the list over, I think you'll see that you will gain some insight into what Sheri's interests, concerns and loves are! Here it goes! TITLES: 7 Simple Steps To Unclutter Your Life - by Donna Smallin Raising Money Smart Kids - Barbara Weltman Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul - various writers The Total Health Makeover - by Marilu Henner Simple Abundance - by Sarah Ban Breathbach Take Time For Your Life - by Cheryl Richardson Diabetes For Dummies - From the popular "Dummie" series The Sky Is Falling - by Sydney Sheldon The 7 Habits of Highly Effective families - Stephen Covey Oprah's Magazine "O" - subscription Woman's Day - subscription **** So you went from knowing nothing of Sheri but her name, but now after reviewing a list of her books, you now have some sort of idea as to what her interests, concerns and interests are. Imagine if you had a similiar list from your grandmother. You may get a glimpse a side of your grandmother that you never knew. So, what does your bookshelf say about you? Go ahead and get started on your list. This one is fun! You may even surprise yourself!
