Reading

I have a beautiful little notebook my husband gave to me some time ago now. It is purple and has a fabric cover that feels as soft as velvet.  I decided to use it to keep track of the books I have read. To progress as a writer it is important to read as much and as widely as possible.  Reading can quite often feel like a guilty pleasure. How lovely to know it is helping me to become a better writer. I no longer need to feel guilty.

Last year I read thirteen books.  I hope to read even more this year.  I love to read.  I love the journey it takes you on and I love that everybody has a different reaction to what they are reading.  It becomes personal to you the moment you begin. 

Sometimes I will read a book borrowed from a friend or that I have seen on another reading list; something that I wouldn't normally choose.  It's a great way to discover a new author.  I've never been disappointed and so I thought I would create my own reading list here.  It might tempt someone to read something different.  It also helps remind me of the journeys I have taken.  I look forward to going on many more.
