As we all know, its world book day tomorrow http://worldbookday.com/ and as part of http://www.myvouchercodes.co. uk/ campaign book bloggers across the board have been asked to share their stories, how and why we read, what made us do it and the importance to our lives. So here is mine;
The beginning

There is a baby who
lives among giants.... Soon the baby grows a little and can walk and
talk. Then, one day, the baby is all grown up and has a baby of her own.
Suddenly there are giants in the house again, and she realizes, "One of
the giants is...ME!" Martin Waddell and Penny Dale trace the cycle of
family life as it goes from one generation to the next in this warm
picture book.
A book we still hold to this day for that time it can be reproduced for more children coming into the family.
The Middle

The End (Modern Day)
I stopped reading, it wasnt cool, i mean who still reads? So, i did, i admit it - then i started to read once more, i was looking for a review of a book when i stumbled upon booktube and book review blogs - i also discovered goodreads - a whole site dedicated to books?! How did i not know, i spent a while indulging in all things books and decided - i can do that. I mean, people are looking for reviews, to discover new authors - if i can share the small bit of knowledge i have then thats wonderous. I started Afternoonbookery soon after, the title been a play on afternoon tea & books. I wanted a place to share my thoughts on books, and remember what i had actually read.
Reading is a huge part of my life, not just on my blog, in day to day too - i can almost turn every convseration into one based on books ( i think its a skill) as well as been able to retie books based on a small plot synopsis. I feel like reading allows you to experience things you wouldnt usually, i mean where else can you travel from bed? Visit the most cozy coffee shops from under the duvet? And meet three billionaires in one week? A book, that is where.
