GUEST POST- CHRISSY’S BOOKS ON HER LOVE FOR READING Today I am pleased to welcome you to a semi-regular blog post feature wherein it is my privilege to host the thoughts of other book bloggers. In a similar way to a round robin, we are all taking it in turns to share the bookish love and talk about how, where and why we fell in love with reading in the first place, as well as what to do when you hit the dreaded bookslump!
My first guest post comes courtesy of Chrissy’s Books-Take it away, Chrissy! Who or what inspired your love for reading? Let me start off by saying that reading is life! I heart books. Any bookworm can relate. I wasn’t always a bookworm actually, I read here and there while growing up but I was way more interested in the outside world, like playing and hanging with friends, fashion, etc. I had a pretty great social life. Although, I did read the odd book here and there in my late teens and early twenties but nothing that gripped me into the book lover that I am today. I had been living in London for many years, I’m not sure if any of you have ever lived in a big city but it’s pretty amazing. There is so much to do, so much to see, too much actually! Culture everywhere, non stop activities, great work and social life, the list goes on and on and on. The downfall for living in such a crazy big city is that it can get so very tiring!! Life is literary non stop. I started to not be able to switch off from my crazy day. Travelling all over the tube, work, people, congestion, socialising etc. It all became too much, and that is when I began to think, what could I do to wind down from a crazy day!
