Between the Kindle, the Nook, and my bookcases, there is no shortage for reading material around my house. However, it seems as though I’ve read very little over the last year. In fact, I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’ve only read about two and a half books in the last twelve months that I know of. And one of them was required for my English class.
So the lovely Bethanne Strasser and I were discussing this reading drought we both seem to be painfully suffering at the moment. We decided to each choose a book and we would both read them. It seems like such a small thing. Make a commitment to read. It is fuel for the muse, not to mention that it often offers us an opportunity to escape and recharge.
I’ve chosen the first book, and so far it’s off to a great start. The cover is fantastic, and the story is intriguing right from the get go. My enthusiasm for this book will hopefully last throughout the end of the book. Is your interest piqued? Fine, I will share.
New author, new book, and lots of reading to do when I’m taking a break from writing or winding down at the end of the evening. My summer of reading is going to start early. I miss reading. Lets see if I can increase my overall reading total beyond ten by the end of the summer shall we? An aggressive goal? Perhaps it is with all that is on my plate, but even if I don’t reach it, the fun is in the journey isn’t it?
Great idea, ladies! Have fun!
Yes! I’m still with you on this.
I need to feed my muse and recharge my creativity levels. I’m glad we chatted about this. So worth it to have read through chapter 2 of a book. My biggest problem lately is that I start a book but don’t finish.
I’ve heard of the phenomenon of authors not being able to shut off their editor. It’s never been a problem for me before…but perhaps, without knowing it, that’s been what’s holding me up.
Boooo! I’m ready to read again, please.
It will be fine. After we discussed that whole editor thing the other day, I found I was doing it a lot more than I realized. Was able to push past it though.
