No Intervention Necessary

One of the greats, Stephen King, described books as, "Uniquely portable magic." So not only was Mr. King completely insane, but a genius. There are so many authors, King being one of them, that if I ever met them, I would struggle with the instinct to run like hell, or kiss their feet. Perhaps all good authors have some level of madness to them; after all, the greatest stories I've found are the ones that leave your mind reeling, laying wide awake at night replaying those magical moments of discovery from beginning to end. Stephen King, author, madman, genius, is absolutely correct, books are the most magical and powerful thing in our world.

If you asked my husband if I liked to read, he'd probably die of laughter. The man is very patient with my clear addiction to literature. I've not only secluded myself on more than one occasion with a book until I was finished, I've kept him awake at night discussing the details of my most recent journey of words, but I've also spent my fair share of money on books, e-readers, and book club memberships. I love to read! Nothing brings me more of a thrill than the discovery of a good book. I want to share the trip I just went on with everyone. I want those around me to experience what I just did, and then sit for hours discussing it with me and how it changed their life. Perhaps my obsession with these stacks of novels, and my husband's exhaustion of discussing them, gave my wonderful man the idea of me starting a book blog. A place where I could keep track of all my favorite...and not so favorite books, and allow me to vomit up the words I have in regards to those books. If you're looking for an eloquent critique of best sellers, or pretentious attitudes that all modern literature is shameful, or even a blog that doesn't contain grammatical errors (because this one will), then look elsewhere, but for all those who continuously ask me what I'm reading now, or what book they should read next, no need to look further...here it is: Brittany's Book Blog! (Whabam on that alliteration!)



Told you he was genius!!!
