February - the month of St. Valentine, and when our thoughts turn to love and romance.
I am, of course, talking about the love above all others - books. Every now and then it is nice to read a little love and romance, but I am talking about the love of books. That wonderful feeling when you open up a brand new volume... that creak in the spine you get and the smell of newly printed pages. Also, stumbling upon an old, sometimes tatty, book that has clearly been loved by someone before you. That gorgeously musty smell and uneven page edges.
Is it the same with an e-reader? I think not. I love my kindle but it doesn't give me the same reading experience. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Here are the books that I am looking forward to reading this month.
I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness by Clare Vaye Watkins
Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher
They Never Saw it Coming by Roberta Kagan
The Sky Above the Roof by Natacha Appanah
Ordinary Families by E. Arnot Robertson
How to Read Like a Writer by Erin M. Pushman
The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck
A Killing in November by Simon Mason
All We Left Unsaid by Natalie K. Martin
