Sick Day

I am tired and have a scratchy throat, so I am afraid I will not be posting for the book club today! Post rescheduled for Monday. Thank you! :(
(And don't worry- I'm feeling better and having been drinking plenty of herbal tea)

'Something New' or 'Introducing the Read More Books Than Blogs Bookclub'

Not too long ago, I was assigned to write a prompt on writing. Free topic. Whatever we had to say about it. What I wrote, basically, was that if having to choose between never reading and writing again or having only gruel to eat for the rest of my life, I would take the lifetime supply of gruel. As most of you know, I love good food. I love good, quality food so much that I don't even know how to properly get that point across! And eating gruel for the rest of my life? There would be a lot of crying and bitterness as a result. BUT my mind would certainly dull and my thoughts would definitely dwindle down to include only sleeping, eating, working, and other superficial/surface details. I need reading in my life like I need breath in my body.

It's a noble idea, but really no one's actually asked me to choose between food and books, and my reading material lately has been more of blogs than classics. Well, NO MORE, MY FRIENDS! Time for books galore! I am going to be a reading fiend! Except... it would be so much more fun if I could have people reading along with me. Truth is, I love discussing. And it takes two to tango/discuss. Are you doing the same load of laundry as me? No? Yes? Or should I say, Will you be reading the same books as me?

What to read? Give me suggestions! What should I read? What have you been wanting to read? What looks good? The RMBTB posts will be put up roughly every three weeks, and include a complete look at the book in question. Wish me luck!
