Hello, I'm Charlotte. Otherwise known as Charlie, and there are two things that I love to do most: Read and Crochet. I already have a blog for my crochet journey but it is only recently I thought that I should keep a blog for the books I'm reading and those that I enjoy. More importantly, I believe it will do me good to keep up with a blog and try not to forget about it.
So, here we go... And you can already figure out by my lack of poetic and metaphorical language that I am no expert. I am not an English Literature student and I haven't studied English since High School. I write how I speak, and books are just something I am passionate about. Sometimes I can go through patches in life where I don't read for a month - but most of the time I have a stack of books on my bedside table. (Much to the dislike of my Girlfriend who likes things to be tidy)
If I could transport you to the home of my dreams, there would be bookshelves as tall as giants, holding hands around the room, absolutely packed with books in all colours and conditions. The room turns into a den, with fairy lights strung everywhere, cushions and blankets on the floor with baskets of wool and crochet hooks. Candles lit and a warm glow fills the air, making it cosy and inviting. A big teapot filled to the brim with green tea, and my favourite mug ready for me. As C.S Lewis stated. " you can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me" It smells like Christmas; old books, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chocolate, fresh cotton and in this fantasy cave of mine, you can be transported all around the world, into the future and way back into the past. You can sit up straight or stand up, lie down on your belly or chill on your back. Any way you like, you can enjoy the wonders of being a book lover. I want to share some of this passion with you. I invite you to my comfortable world of books. I encourage you to read and share your thoughts. I look forward to sharing my books with you.
Love Charlie, Xx
