Booking Through Thursday: Inspired

January 22nd, 2009

Since “Inspiration” is (or should) the theme this week … what is your reading inspired by?

My reading is inspired by many things. First and foremost it is inspired by the books themselves and the authors who can put these wonderful works out there for me to enjoy. I love that a book picks me up from my world and deposits me squarely in another. They are my escape.

Secondly, I am so inspired by the blogging world and the wonderful group of people I’ve met through it. I’ve always been a voracious reader but now with blogging I’ve met others just like me and I love it. My blog inspires me. I want to try to bring good reviews to the people reading and make it a place that they like to visit.

Reading brings people together with a common bond of books. What could be more inspiring than that?

    Thanks to all of you who commented on my Booking Through Thursday post and those who said my blog inspires them-I’m flattered.

  22. Trish says:

    I get a lot of inspiration from other bloggers as well–not only to reach beyond my normal boundaries but also to write better reviews. I don’t know if my reviews have gotten any better or if they’re just longer, but it’s funny to look back at my first few months of posts.

  23. Red lady-Bonnie says:

    Great Answer, Dar. This was a challenging question. I find books a wonderful escape as well. Your blog is definitely one that inspires me as well!

  24. lilly says:

    I agree with you. Books themselves inspire me as well. i also like to find out more about the authors of book I just read, sometimes their lives or some details from them seem like the last piece of the puzzle

  25. Lenore says:

    So glad I met you through blogging :)

  26. Dar says:

    Trish, your reviews are awesome. I really enjoyed your latest format with Twilight.

    Bonnie, thanks. Your blog is one of my faves-you know that.

    lilly-I agree. Sometimes knowing more about who wrote the book makes it even more inspiring.

    Lenore, back at you. I’m really happy to have met you too.
