Six Sentence Stories – Book
The book is my friend in sickness and in health.
It comforts and informs, whispers as it speaks.
Invites me to visit in search of what I need; succour, hope, adventure or delight.
It waits with bated breath, and never refuses.
Breathes easily when its own needs have been met.
Hi Trish! Welcome to Six Sentence Stories!
Love your 6 and couldn’t agree more. Reading a good book (for me) is the perfect escape.

Books are a terrific refuge and support…that’s why I love my public library, where they make themselves available to all!

Welcome then!
As to your Six: while I am guilty of using a Kindle* there is something that technology can not replace, ‘the smell’. Like a bowling alley or a dock in a fishing port, the scent of books in a quiet library or (old) book store is unmistakable.
Good Six!
*the days of the digital dexterity necessary to read, in bed, on my side…one-handed (with a paperback) seems to have been left somewhere behind lol

Years ago when i visited the library quite often I would check out 10 or more books and lay them all out on the guest bed. Then I would just look at them, touch them trying to decide which one to begin first.
I would usually be reading three at a time. On for bed time, one on the patio and one in the living room. (Yes, I can read while my husband has the TV blaring.)
I like what you wrote. π
