In a rut....

I’m in a rut and I can’t get out. You know how sometimes you’re hungry but nothing appeals to you? Well, I’m horrified to say that has been happening to me about books lately (and we know it’s not because I don’t have plenty), but I think I may have just found the answer. We just got in a new book by Ali Smith called The Book Lover. Everything in this anthology is something that she has loved reading over the course of her life. There are famous authors and not so famous ones. There are pieces she loved as a child as well as pieces she’s loved as an adult. There are poems as well as prose. And there are people I’ve never heard of in it – which to me is the most appealing aspect of the book. I’ll keep you posted!
