dilemma

I miss reading.

No, really. I do.

Not just reading the news or browsing blogs. Real reading. The kind where you hole up for days on end because you just can't get enough of a certain author, series, or topic. I miss the stimulation of learning something new.

Today at the library, a customer came up to me and asked me about Newberry books. I could only think of two and I knew there were hundreds more to choose from.

Why didn't I know them?

Because I haven't been reading.

I love reading. I think all of my moving posts about the pain of separation from my books would be evidence enough of that. But I haven't been reading.

Why?

I don't know. Somewhere in between working and wedding planning, my attention turned to floral arrangements and font sizes rather than fiction or non. I'm really looking forward to late April when a) I'll be married and b) my free time can be used for fun, frivolous things like novels. I like that idea.
