The joy of reading
I've started to enjoy reading again. Something that I'm very glad of.
It started with Fire by Kirstin Cashore (a present from the lovely XakliaAeryn for my birthday last year), I really had trouble putting it down and had forgotten reading could be so fun.
I tried to follow it up with the Death Note novel but with the move to Scotland and the end of the MSc that didn't go as well and reading got put aside once again.
Now that I've gotten settled I picked up the DN novel again and carried on from where I had paused. I liked it a lot more that I had expected. I've decided now to try and keep up with the reading. It used to bring me such joy but then life just got in the way and it got pushed to the side of my life.
I've got a variety of books waiting for me, more fiction, some cookery books, Becka got me two lovely books on lost crafts and knowledge which I am sinking my teeth into, and of course there is manga.
I thought that to keep track of the books I've read and to write a little about what I think of them I'd set up a tag and do it here. It's not a review, and it may just be a couple of lines, but it's something nice for me and who knows maybe if you read you'll hear about a book you may like! Manga will be over at Nanashimoriko as always.
