Today’s 3rdish cup (It’s a big cup… so I’ve had to refresh it… don’t judge) accompanies a new book. I have such anticipation when starting a new book. Especially after still being tied to my last book and characters. Most the time I end up getting lost in what I read.

I also love paper books. The smell of ink and paper. The way the weight of the book is almost a comfort in my hands. The sound of the page as I get the next page ready so I don’t lose a beat in the story. How it feels on my fingers. Ok, I may have a love affair with books… ssh, don’t tell my coffee. I tried having a kindle when it first came out and then the app on my phone later. I do like the convenience but something about having the the physical book in my hands is comfort.

Sometimes though there’s a book I have issues getting drawn into the story and then I stop. I wish I could say that I pick up another book but I have a quirk about needing to finish. So, my love of reading gets pushed to the side and life gets in the way depending on how easily I get into the book. Sad, I know. But I always come back and find that love again. Ok, maybe coffee doesn’t need to worry… my love for it never goes away or wanes.

So today, as I start a new venture now with my 4ish (okay, you know what… this cup is big) cup I’m going to have fun delving into a new setting and characters.

Happy 4thish cups and happy reads…

Side note… it’s taken about 2 hours to write this. Had phone conversations with my mom, my boss and my husband this morning so I might not actually start book and then no pictures because WordPress is having issues uploading… finally added a picture this afternoon.
