It begins

Actually not really... this is not so much the beginning of anything terribly unusual. 

Starting a blog about my reading is not something I have thought about for a while (or at all really). Sometimes on my family blog- the "hey relatives across the country" check out how much my kids have grown kind- I get the overwhelming desire to write long posts about books. I try to wax eloquent about the latest favorite novel read. It never works,*awkward* I get "poetic spurts" (my husband says this happens after I watch too much BBC or read Keats (hey, it could happen to anybody!). Mostly I am the quirky funny type- that is to say sometimes people laugh when I talk- so I can assume I am either funny or I embarrass myself enough to be funny- that does not sound so good. *Cough chough* Well this is a great start. I have a feeling if this where a conversation there would be an awkward pause right now....

What was I saying again…?

Oh yeah, about the blog. Basically I have never even thought of doing this before, but this morning I woke up with the desire to try (unsuccessfully) wax eloquent on the blog again.

 I read Gift From the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindenburg, yesterday - Its only natural that I want to discuss it with someone, (anyone!).So I thought about writing another blog post about it. But the problem is that my cousin in Virginia does not want to read about me reading –she wants to see pictures of my kiddos and move on.

Then I got an idea- we will have to wait and see if it was a wonderful or awful idea- The idea was this. “I should just make a blog especially for my reading muses” and now I have.

It’s so great so far! I am so glad you are here because I have ever so many books to discuss.

I am in a book group that meets once a month, we are all moms and the book club is about Classic Literature- sometimes we read Classic children’s books sometimes not. I just read a lot more than the once a month book group and my schedule is such that trying to join 50 book groups to satisfy my craving simply won’t work because I have a young busy family.SO This blog is born.

You like books too don’t you? I mean after reading Jane Austen don’t you walk around for at least a day using a greater part of your ever expanding but sometimes unused vocabulary? I am totally the same way!

So now that we are introduced lets discuss!

PS –do you like the tittle I admit I did not put too much thought into the tittle but it’s funny, right?
