Hey you guys! Did you join up here and seek to read Jane Eyre or Judy Blume with us?! I sought to read both - but oops... I only read Jane Eyre. I absolutely immersed myself in that book, like I have no other. I read it slowly and relished every word. I watched the movie(s) and the mini series. I love Jane Eyre. I do. I didn't get to Judy. Lotsa stuff happening in the Land of Mike and I just didn't get around to it. I have it in my bag though and I will read it soon. (To be honest, someone wonderful in our close family is extremely ill and it is taking all our time and thoughts to deal with how awful that is. So if you've noticed that we've been a bit less us, that is why. It's not you. It's us.)
Now. If you read Judy or Jane - you can sign up for the Book Club blog and write a bit of a blurb about it over there. If you didn't and you want to, you can still go sign up here and have a go at one or both. BUT I'm announcing three new books tomorrow. So you might want to wait and see what you'd really really like to read!
Can I just say.... that if you feel you don't have time to read... even 5 minutes a day will change your life. It will help you to think more creatively, abstractly, imaginatively, dreamily. It will help you to focus less on the hum drum stuff and more on the possibilities life has to offer. It will help you to know that you are ace and important and deserve a teeny bit of time to transport yourself to somewhere else... It will help you to be inspired, and to know that people went before you and took the time to write down their thoughts and one day you might too.
So what the heck is stopping you?! Tomorrow there will be 3 books to choose from. All contemporary. Some short, some longer. So maybe you might like to join up?! See you then.
xx Pip
