Monday Read lusts

On Sunday morning I woke up to the sound of rain, to the warm hue of my room tinted by peach curtains, I reached for Age of Innocence on my bedside table, and thank the heavens for the simple pleasure of spending my morning bundled up in my bed without the urgency to move. I feel I could stretch the morning into days.


Makes it harder to get up on Monday mornings, right?

Read away your Monday blues with these...

Found this charming blog by a bookseller who finds the most interesting bookmarks -from vintage ephemera, tickets, black and white photographs to mundane grocery lists.

Staying in with a good book? How about reading outdoors in a book-vineyard?

Does this mean I'm a book snob because I don't read out of my comfort genre?

Ever wished fictional bookworms weren't so fictional? Peek at their reading list!

Happy reading :)

Ramblings

My mind is a clutter right now - overlapping thoughts and daydreams and words - stumbling to get out. Every time I stop to sort things out with myself, I hit a writer's block. I feel detached, floating aimlessly in a sea of words. I feel restless and anxious, wanting to say everything but not knowing how to say it. Words are not enough but they're everything.

Spending too much time in one's head is dangerous. But when you bow your head in front of a paperback, you escape, you stop the tide from pulling you into monotony and routine. Books are like anchors, they hold you down, and lift you above the choking water when you need to breathe. 

I felt how strong the tide was and I refuse to go with the flow.

Books and lusts

Currently reading: Rereading, actually. I have the Penguin classic edition, but don't you love this cover? Have you seen the movie?

Thinking about reading: Was supposed to get this book but I ended up with 501 must-read books!

New on bookshelf: Both were on sale when I bought them! 500 bucks for 2 hard bounds. Great finds! 

Perfect for my bedside table :)
