Whew! I should learn from Her Majesty, who has her priorities right when in bed, I think:
Here I am in the library in one of my former residences (the humans have since moved us; the new residence is tolerable).
I like the scent books give off. I don't understand the fixation and attachment my humans seem to have for these rustly objects, though. Even if some books do smell interesting, like they have collected smells from all sorts of humans and places and even other animals, they are not edible and I can't see that they serve any purpose.
