There's nothing better than a good book, is there? Falling head-first into the pages of someone else's story and re-emerging several hours later, as happy as a pig in mud. I love books, but in recent years I've found myself reading less than I'd like to.
I was delighted when I spotted that the lovely Laura from Circle of Pine Trees had recently shared that she was feeling the same way. So much so, that she's set up a regular feature on her blog to share the books she's reading, and is inviting fellow bookworms to join in.
This month I have chosen to read the Doctor Who 50th anniversary anthology--that's quite a mouthful--which features a story for each of the incarnations of the Doctors. I am particularly excited to read Neil Gaiman's effort as his writing is always a treat, but I am being good and not skipping ahead to the end!
I have just started the Fourth Doctor's story after loving the first three, especially the First Doctor's Victorian adventure. I'm looking forward to more amazing adventures!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing! Yes, I shall be back to sign up and join in when I'm not on my mobile. :D

Hooray! Reading is so good for the soul, I don't know why I've let it slip so much.
DeleteI love this idea even though I most absolutely definitely do not need to lust after any new reading materials!

You could always work your way through that To-Read pile of yours! My next book will be one of those that I bought during a bit of a kindle sales spree last year :)
DeleteOoh this looks amazing, I love a bit of Gaiman!

Me, too! He's such an amazing writer.
DeleteAlso love a bit of Gaiman! I like the idea of sharing more books and stuff - I read a lot but rarely share that kind of thing on my blog. Maybe I should! X
ReplyDeleteI always love hearing about awesome books, so you should totally write about them on your blog xx
DeleteThanks so much for joining me! Yes, Neil Gaiman is always a treat, I love his advice to aspiring writers, too. Laura
ReplyDeleteNice to meet another Gaiman fan! Looking forward to seeing your reads this year, Laura!
DeleteI really want to read more this year as well! Right now I'm in the middle of Jane Austen's Persuasion :) You're blog is absolutely lovely :)

Thanks so much, Rachel! I haven't read Persuasion for a long time--might have to do a re-read!
DeleteOoo I'll be interested to hear all about it when you've finished. I'd love to read that.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably write a review of it, Liz :)
DeleteGreat idea! My family hasn't gotten into Doctor Who yet, but we want to. And Neil Gaiman's awesome - we saw him do a reading at a local comic book show years and years ago.
ReplyDeleteI must get my hands on this! I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and it sounds like it's awesome! And of course, Neil Gaiman is wonderful. I really like his writing (although I wasn't a huge fan of "Nightmare in Silver").
