This is my new blog – The Pixie Chronicles. It’s going to describe my adventures through books and reading.
Books and reading have always been an important part of my life. It helped me through some pretty tough and difficult times. No matter how lonely I have felt – from when I was a small child to who I am now – books have always brought me comfort and company.
I’ve realised that, particularly over the last ten years, reading has become an important part of my social life, as well as something I do when I’m on my own. I’m a founding member of a book club, we’ve talked about books on the radio, I’ve been to book festivals and author talks. Last year I applied to volunteer for School Readers and now I go into a local infant school and listen to children read.
For the last 14 years I’ve kept a book journal – keeping a record of the books I’ve read and writing a short review of each one. Sometimes I go back through them and I can remember where I was when I read a particular book and how it made me feel.
Every now and then people say I should start a book blog. After giving it a lot of thought I decided why not! So here it is! I’ll be talking about the books I’ve read, book club meetings, children’s books, and author talks and any other social things relating to books and reading.
