Call me a book addict or a bookworm or the more high-sounding word bibliophile but I just love books. Take that to mean a new book with the dust jacket still on, a second-hand find from a Booksale store, an e-book on my tab or just about anything that spells b-o-o-k.
I’ve just finished my 18th book this year (according to Goodreads where I have a virtual library) last night. And it is a story about books and maintaining a bookshop. I had a good laugh reading it and enjoyed all the lovely and inspirational book quotes written there.
Sometimes I forget to jot them down but I go back and write them in my new journal. It is always nice to read words that take you to another place, another time and experiences. My reading genre is an eclectic mix of cook books, memoirs, poems, historical novels, classic books and fiction. Sometimes I feel as if I am the main character in the story. When you experience the triumphs, the fears, the disappointments and the happy moments, it means that you are into the story.
I am into my fourth journal of quotes from most of the books I’ve read in the past. I feel energized reading these inspiring and motivational words from different authors.
Don’t you just love the smell of new books or the excitement of finding something on your wish list? Don’t you just love that pile of TBRs on your night table?
