Collect antiques, reading

My husband and I like to go antiquing.  We like to look for things that have a story behind it.  I have several of my mom and grandmother's antiques and I have built my collection on those items. I like to read Christian Romance books.  I don't just read them one time, I read them over and over and always find something new each time.
