Why on Earth Do I Need ANOTHER Blog?

When I was 8,  I bought a 5-subject notebook and started my first book journal.  All I wrote in it was the title of the book I read, the author, how many pages it had and the date that I finished it.  I had that notebook for years until, in one of my many moves, the box it was in was lost.  I was devastated - that notebook chronicled my reading life for nearly 20 years.

 It was upsetting enough that, for whatever reason, I didn’t begin another notebook until about 2 years ago.  Again, all I write is the name, author, number of pages and date.  I, however, think that I’d like to remember more than that about the books I read.  Thus, “My World in Books” was born.  My intention is to write about each book, even if I can’t bear to finish it.

I am not going to go back and try to recreate any books I’ve read recently.  I’m currently reading “Next” by Michael Crichton and I’ll write about that when I’m finished with it.

If you’re here, you’re welcome and please leave a comment to let me know that you’ve been by.  I am writing for myself, but I’d love to know what you think about the books I’m reading.
