Yesterday I told you all I was writing a book. Well, isn't everyone? Like so many people I have started and not finished lots of stories - but this time I feel determined to get to the end.
I adore reading. I love finding something I can lose myself in, something that transports me to another world, or to another version of this one. I will go for a walk with my book, find a sunny bench and read until it's cold; I will take a good book into the bath and read until the water is cold; I will sneak off to bed early to get in a few more chapters...I get excited about getting obsessed.
I try and read a good variety but I'm sure like a lot of you I sometimes go through lazy phases and stick to easy reads [eee, I'm going to do it, I'm going to say "chick-lit"] - but am I the only one getting bored of the same plot lines, the same characters, the same twists, the same endings? It's inevitable, of course, that if you read enough you will start to find that you've already read it...but I haven't read anything to obsess over lately so I'm going to have to obsess over writing, instead.
Tell me about your reading habits! What, where, when, why? And do you agree that everything seems samey? What do you want from a book? Talk to me, inspire me, give me some comments to read!
As part of World Book Night I have lots of copies of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Anyone who comments can have a copy :o)
