As the holidays are fast approaching, I’m feeling overwhelmed with the potential reading experiences that lie ahead. Since I won’t have time for everything, I will have to pick and choose carefully, and the above topic is on my mind lately. Here are a few contenders:
*I have my festive novel I'll be Home for Christmas which my mom sent me last year – never underestimate a mother’s wisdom, especially when it comes to love (enjoying these so far).
*This year mom sent me The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I must read this at some point - I’m just really tired of hearing about women getting their heads bashed in by men. Need a break from that. But I know I'm the last person on earth to read this.
*And, a gift to myself: The Host – a romantic Sci-Fi. I might dive into this one soon….and I might just have to see Breaking Dawn as well this year, as this was one of my favorites in the Twilight Series (hardly ever is the last book one of the best).
*On my list …. Delirium. I’m excited to read this for some reason and explore why LOVE – something so wonderful and necessary – could possibly ever be extinct or prohibited.
*Some favorite love novels of days gone past: Four Letters of Love; Fountainhead; Jane Eyre.
These have one thing in common: they are tragic in a way. So, in the spirit of Bridget Jones, this year I will turn a new page and try to find a love story which will inspire me. The search is on!
