What books do you want to read?

There is an old cliche I’d like to use against my better judgement.

So many books, so little time…

My home is littered with many genres, authors, and titles, some read. And many not.

They gather in bookshelves and crowd on tables, some with a bookmark betraying my half finished literary meal.

No particular book is more alluring than the others. My appetite is not fussy.

But also competing with the written word are audio books.

Audio books are my latest way to consume my Beloved texts.

With hands in soapy water, I can wash up while absorbing stories. Or I can knit, make the bed, tidy, drive even…all while relishing the latest best-sellers.

So, there is no solitary book I’d like to read. I want to read them all.

Nanowrimo

Just to keep you updated, I’m participating in Nanowrimo, sort of.

My aim is to complete the initial draft of a book I’m working on.

At the moment it looks like it will become a Chapter Book for young ish children. The title at the moment, is The Festival, and it is all about a boy who steals and a man whose profession is lost. It is about how they change each other’s lives, and perhaps, learn from one from the other.

At the Illustrator’s is another book I’ve already written, called “Bartholemew.” This book, is aimed at young children, who may need pictures to enjoy as well as a story line. This book too, is about teaching values, and the importance of believing in oneself.

I’ll continue to update you as I go along.
