...in a book.
Forget your dishes. Your bed needs to be made? So. So what I say.
Grab that book. That tome. That special edition hard cover. That fourth in a series of five that you can't put down.
Embark upon a grand adventure. Live vicariously through the words of others. {Squeeze every drop of its succulent fruit.}
A little disengagement is required of us anyhow. For if we go uninspired-then how will future books get written?
xoxo
p.s. I was honoured to be asked to guest post on my passions at Relyn's blog, come sit by my fire...
So true! I am close to the end of a book and I keep saying I need to go to bed early, but really I am reading.

I'm leaving the internet to go snuggle in with "The Help", by Kathryn Stockert. There's nothing like a good book!

Hi Gillian-Relyn sent me over. Your post on her blog hit me in an almost undiscribable way-It was like my cells were woken up and starting moving and communicating with each other-I could feel this internal buzz and I think it was the energy of you that was expressed in the post-full of life and wonder and passion and the 'not holding back' sense I get of you. Please to meet you.

Love being lost in a good book. Currently I am making my way through the Thursday Next Series of books by Jasper Fforde. Kind of quirky, sci-fi, satire, fantasy, crime-mystery stuff. If you like The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, you will love Jasper Fforde. Off to read Relyn's blog....

Your feature at Relyn's was wonderful, Gillian! Right now I'm reading Broken Paradise currently featured at my blog, and also re-reading Julie & Julia--just for fun! Happy Weekend :o)
