Book-ish

For about 18 months, I was reading ferociously.  I was averaging about 6 books a month.  There were so many books sitting on my shelf that needed to be read, and gosh darnit I was going to read them all.  And I loved it.  I missed a lot of television and movies, just reading my evenings away. Then somewhere around May, it just stopped.  I'm not sure what happened exactly.  But in the time since I haven't finished a single book.  I've started about a dozen, and I've read maybe 25 pages of them all, and then just stopped for whatever reason. I still have tons of books on my shelf - even more since I still insist on purchasing them.  I just can't make myself pay attention to them long enough to finish them.

That is until this week, I've finally tucked into a book that I love so much that I'm dying to get home at the end of the day to read it. Not surprisingly, it's about 2 of my very favorite things - theatre and travel.  It's called "The Little Theatre by the Sea" by Rosanna Ley.  It's so darn good!  I'm hooked.  I saw it in every bookstore in England, and didn't want to buy it because it's fairly fat and I'm a terrible packer.  However, after about the fifth time I put it back on the shelf, I just said the heck with it, and decided to stuff it in my suitcase (after purchasing it first, obviously!).  

I'm so glad I did.  Of course even though it got me hooked on reading again, it's also gotten me hooked on wanting to travel again - and after England, I'm poor so I need to start saving up again.  Always a bummer - where are you winning lottery ticket?!  Anyway, if you're into reading, theatre design and travel to Sardinia, I highly recommend this book!  She has tons more travel-centric tomes as well, that I'm sure will be taking up room on my shelf sooner or later since I'm back into reading again!
