Um, hi guys.
Wow, this is awkward.
Okay, I know I have been away for a good six months. I know
it’s weird I’m starting back up this blog that exactly no one reads but hey, a
girl needs an outlet.
Let’s just say that this summer was the worst reading time
of my life. I blame
Fifty Shades of Grey. I was also reading
a lot of series’ installments that I was already bored with. I didn’t have any
shining stars and I was reading sloooowly. Nevertheless, my library queue
dwindled and dwindled until I had exactly one book I wanted to read in it. I
was feeling down, uninspired.
There
seemed like no light at the end of the tunnel…
Then…
I read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
This book was exactly what I needed to get back on the
metaphorical horse and search for some new stuff. Turns out, I’ve been hiding
under a rock. I started getting book ideas from people I know and people I
found on Youtube and suddenly, my book queue filled up again. I am on hold for 10
books at two separate library chains! I finally got my hands on Where
We Belong by Emily Giffin and lo and behold, I have a bonafide hobby
again.
I also joined a book club. Look at me.
So, I’m not promising anything with this reintroduction. I
might keep this going for a week or a year or ten years. We’ll see. All I know
is that there is a reinvigoration inside of me that comes from reading a good
book. Any reader can attest to how a great book can make you fall in love with
reading all over again and that’s what happened to me.
So, let’s hope I can read it hard…again.
