I’m your average will-read-for food, beach bum. I love the printed word in all its shapes and forms. Books have been a major influence on my life, both as a teacher and bookstore owner. Well, books and my daughter, Bridget. Wait, don’t forget the beach. Oh, and music. Hiking. Yoga…okay, okay, so perhaps I have a few loves but bottom line–book nerd.
Reading for me is rarely a singular event. Sure, occasionally, I grab a book for nothing more than a few hours of pure escapism; however, for the most part, books lead me on a journey further reaching than perhaps even the author could imagine. A title reminds me of a poem (check it out!), a line references Greek mythology (oh, how is that god related to this god?), the author worked with another author in the past (What was that book she wrote?), so it goes…on and on. Touch of A.D.D., I am sure…but never boring.
So my hope is to introduce you to books you might not be familiar with, books you might be pondering reading, or books you have already read…and to drag you down the twisted path of an “inspired” reader.
