I've loved books all my life. Reading has been my favourite hobby in good times. It has also been a solace in tough times, like the ones we are experiencing at the moment, in my home country of Ireland and all over the world. A life lived through books is not necessarily an escape from reality: reading can be a guide to living, and a way of connecting with others. I've started this blog in the hope that I can keep writing as well as reading, and share the stories, memories and thoughts that the books I love inspire in me. I would also love to hear the ideas and opinions that these books, along with the many I have yet to discover, inspire in other readers out there. Below is an image that sums up my childhood idea of perfect joy:
I wasn't the only child who saw this as the ultimate happiness. I would love to hear about your experiences with books.
