First Post!

welcome to the humble beginnings of my blog. You can find out a little more about the blog in the about section. I’ll be posting book reviews and literary minded rants shortly, but until than, enjoy a fabulous and favourite bookish quote of mine by Cervantes:

…[H]e became so absorbed in his books that he spent his nights from sunset to sunrise, and his days from dawn to dark, poring over them; and what with little sleep and much reading his brains got so dry that he lost his wits.

- Cervantes, Don Quixote.

Honoré Daumier, "Don Quixote" (1950)

    Well, I think your blog is a very good choice of hobby! I think it is important, even when you are finished school, to continue to exercise your brain by reading and writing regularly. And like you said, it is a huge plus to be able to do it at your own leisure and choose what you will engulf yourself in instead of reading or writing something just because you have to. So, enjoy! I am looking forward to checking up on you :)

  • I love it! What else can anyone want other than reviews and rants? PS. “Lolita” is one of my top three greatest-love-stories-of-all-time-novels…(plain text won’t let me italicize Lolita-please forgive!)

  • I love your blog, Bethann! It has given me more reason, to start taking more time to relax and unwind with a good read. I will be following your blog and will be referring your blog to my friends that are avid readers.

    Much love,
    Leticia
    xoxo
