You can imagine I started this blog because I always had a voracious appetite for books.
But for the longest time, I believed my reading life to be deep within the realms of my personal life. A blissful experience of isolation, hidden and unknown from the world outside my own reservations.
So you can also imagine how challenging it was to open a blog of books, my books. I suppose my reclusive nature stems from my desire to keep these stories to myself. I used to think, the less people who read this book means the more I have it to myself! It's selfish and it totally defeats a beautiful aspect of reading: sharing.
It's unhealthy to bury tales of romance, horror, and fiction deep within myself. And frankly, I would like to share this past-time I hold dear in the form of words and social media.
Thus, I formally announce my simple yet ambitious book blog. There will mostly be reviews of the variety of books I've read, as well as anything bookish.
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing this Eury! What you said reminded me of a quote from somewhere by Murakami Haruki. It went something like this: "If you only read what everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is reading" I think it depends on the situation, but personally I believe knowing and feeling when it's the right time to share is what's key. And I think you got it! Can't wait to read more! (:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback and quote! Yes, I feel like it's the right time to share my opinions and feeling on things that are important to me. And I'm glad you're there to give me feedback! Can't wait to hear more of your blog and video blog posts :) <3
