I am surrounded by amazing books. Books that I want to consume all at once, and in return, have them consume me. Unfortunately I can not, life gets in the way- too many responsibilities and obstacles that need my immediate attention, and the instead consume me and my time and I become emerged in them and then have lost myself in them. Though I have not written any reviews lately except for one, I have not stopped reading whenever I can, my pace has just been slowed down.

It is so hard to remain purely dedicated to your true desires when you are not leading the life of your dreams. Mine would be to have no worries- no responsibilities or obstacles- and just read for long hours in a beautiful bay window with a hot drink conveniently located in my own elegant library, to paint in an efficient and stylish studio, dance myself to exhaustion, write all my worries and reviews at an enormous antique desk and take long, hot, soothing baths in an amazing antique style soaker tub. Wouldn’t that just be perfection… for me anyway.
