I want to be a writer. Not just a writer, but a great writer with a novel on the shelves of every brick and mortar book store there is. But, to write, I have to read and I have been sorely lacking in that department lately. So to remedy this, I’m starting a reading list and a ‘books I love’ list.
First, a little insight into my eccentric book buying. I must own a book to read it. I can’t borrow and I won’t lend, but I will give away a book even if it’s my favorite – other than books I may not be able to replace. I only purchase large format paperbacks. I love the way they lay open in my hands and how they usually have satin covers that feel nice when I run my fingertips across the back while I read.
Now, onto creating the lists and I promise I’ll take a book off the shelf to read. Promise.
