A New Book

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926), The Happy Life, 1896

I don't know about you, but I love to read. There is nothing quite as calming to my soul than to sit and read a while. Whether it is fiction or non-fiction, summer or winter, I always love a good book.

During the balmy evenings of summer, I often take time to grab a patch of grass and a good book. This summer I loved One Day by David Nicholls. It is the loveliest book I have read in a long time. It is heartbreaking and wonderful all at the same time. I would love to be able to write something like this one day.

And as winter approaches, nothing pleases me more than cosying up on the couch with a duvet and a hot cup of tea. Total bliss. I have just finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife. I loved every minute of this book. The sentiment was beautiful and so powerfully written.

So now to find a new book to love. I often check out The Guardian if I am short of inspiration. Otherwise, I happily head off to my local bookstore and spend the afternoon browsing the shelves to find something delicious to read.

And once I'm done, I will add it to my ever growing bookshelf and head off to the bookstore once again. I'm caught in a vicious cycle...and i love it!

Much love & happy reading xx
