I used to keep my book lists on scraps of paper. Then I graduated to a book list journal. I wish I could find it now. I kept it for several years and wrote down every book I read during that time- it was around the time my children were small.
I'm not sure why I did it. I just had the urge to record what I read, and I would often look back through and remember books I had forgotten, sometimes in order to recommend them to friends.
It's the same impulse as keeping a regular journal, really- to record your life. And in my case, what I am reading is a big part of my life.
I want to keep another record, which is why I am starting this blog. I don't intend to record every book I read this time- it just becomes too unwieldy. And since I also hope to share, I want to share only the books that are most beautiful to me.
That's what I'm hoping to do here.
I hope you will enjoy,
Keri
