A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.
William Styron
For
me, reading has been something that I have always done. It’s a way of escaping
into another world or imagining what your life would be like if these
characters you love and loathe were real, and for a while you
actually believe they are.
So
with summer in full flow there is nothing better than grabbing a book and
lazing out in the sun getting lost in the stories within. With
an abundance of books I do find it quite daunting knowing which to pick up
first, and considering that I buy most of my books from charity shops where they
have them for a little as a 50p it is hard to know when to stop. Hence why my
last shopping visit ended in me buying 17 books that I am slowly making my
way through... opps!
I
have just started reading Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and although it's a
little bit of an unusual choice from me, I am really enjoying it and it's quite
refreshing to pick something up a little different to what I would normally
read. I'm planning on reading quite a bit over the next few months
and hopefully discovering some new authors, so if there are any authors
that you absolutely love please let me know, I might as well add some more
books to my ever-growing book collection!
I am
going to be tweeting out quite about books I am reading so look out for
#SummerReading on twitter if you want to get involved. Plus, if you use Goodreads,
let me know you usernames, I would love to add you all.

On an
extremely important side note: I'm sure quite a few of my long-term followers
or subscribers will be wonder where I have been. Well, in truth I decided to
take a break. All of my social networking pages were starting to become
something that I wasn’t happy with, where I was posting content just to post
it. Instead of carrying on in this way, I decided to take a break and sort out
exactly where I wanted this to go. It was a quite a long time away and for my
blog, the longest I have ever stayed away. Moving forward, I am now back across
all platforms and bursting with ideas I just can't wait to share. Please stick
with me over the next few months, I truly would love to hear your thoughts
and really interact with everyone.
Thanks. Faye xxx
i agree with you. reading is an inexplicable feeling which I love to bits because it takes me to different worlds. :)

I am such a bookworm - now that I've finished uni I've literally been devouring books ridiculously fast! Yet there still seems to be tons in my 'to read' pile :P I've never read Wuthering Heights but I do try to read at least one classic every year :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm glad that you're back to blogging - I've missed reading your posts!
The Life & Times of Belle
I totally agree with you! It's been quite a long time since I don't read a book for pleasure though, and I miss it. Because of uni work basically... I hope to catch up with my list this summer! (:

Thanks for passing by my blog and commenting.
I'm following you! (:
I don't read anywhere near as much as I used to but I'm trying to get back into it! Wuthering Heights is a great choice, it's a wonderful book...although why people crush on Heathcliff I do not know! x
