I have always wanted a blog. It seemed fitting for someone who so willingly shares her opinion-asked for it or not. But I couldn't think of the right avenue. I knew it would be a hobby, an interest-but which one? I dabble in everything-politics, crafting, scrapbooking, baking, cooking. But then it made sense. What is the number one thing people ask me for in the first place? Duh-books! One of my most favorite things in life is to recommend a good book and have the person love it or hate it-as long as they felt something and was moved by the literature. That is, after all, why I read. I want to feel, I want to think, I want to escape. And I want you to feel, think & escape too.
And I am not doing this because I work in a library. In fact, I wonder if this breaks any kinda protocol??hmmm... Oh well if it does. I have been recommending books to people long before the library.
Anyway, the blog- yes, I am going to join the ranks of all of those other book blogs out there. But what shall be different? #1-its by me. #2, this blog will simply be books I have read that I think you will enjoy. It will be about books I love. Why I loved them. Why you should read them. But it isn't just about the books. Its about reading. It will dabble in my nostalgia for English Lit. classes, the book industry, and other literature related conundrums that I get into. I am sure at some point in time I will rant about my friends and family reading habits, about genres, about book art, about my loathing for all things Twilight and my love for all things Harry Potter. I am sure I'll discuss at least once my unhealthy love of children's literature despite not having kids and my love of hippos. All will be revealed in time.
So thanks for reading. Even if it is only once. And hopefully you'll follow me. I encourage you to ask me what you want to read. I will try to recommend. After all, that is what this blog is all about.
