Oh God. I'm in the middle of my exams and I'm writing another blog. I'm sure that's not ok.
Never mind. I love books. It makes me sad that not enough people read, and it's a genuine concern of mine that my children will grow up not liking books (though I'm sure with a little guidance and conditioning, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.)
And I read a lot, I always have. I'll admit I got a little lost over my teenage and A-level years (not that lost, really) but in the last few years, I have been writing down each and every book I've read.
My partner doesn't understand this. He thinks, if the book was worth anything, you don't need to write it down to remember it. But I disagree: I love looking back at books I've read- because I read so much, I forgot what I've read. This I assume will only worsen over the years as my personal library expands.
Part of me wants to write this blog to encourage everyone who come across it to read more!
But I know that's unrealistic.
In the next few posts, I'll address how busy people like you and me can fit extra reading into your life.
But essentially, it's more or less going to be a book review blog, with the odd extra article thrown in.
And I know there must be hundreds if not thousands of these floating around the internet. But I thought, why not? And if you have and blog/book/article suggestions, please let me know!
