Throughout the summer and now creeping into the fall, I am in such a mood to read. With a pug on my lap and a wine/tea at my side, I can just fall into the story and not feel like I’ve wasted three hours watching someone else’s scripted “reality”. Although, the problem that I used to experience when faced with such a mood is: what book shall I read?! Asking around in my circle of friends might produce a good read occasionally, but usually I received the heartbreaking responses such as “I don’t like to read” or “what was the name of that book I read last?” ::sigh:: I couldn’t just walk into a library or a book store to randomly pick up a visually appealing book cover. You know what they say: Don’t judge a book…
(That one’s for Josh)
Well I’ve found this awesome website: FlashlightWorthyBooks.com!! That title alone gets you excited to find that next good read. Oh, but the organized cleverness of this site!! For example, I found my first suggestion in the “Books That Taught Me to Like the Subway Again” section. I have a couple suggested books saved that came from “These Books Will Help You Survive After an Apocalypse.” I just finished Frankenstein which of course fell under “12 Classic Steampunk Books.” You never know, I might move onto “The Best Books on Raising Urban Chickens.”
The book’s reviews are descriptive and honest without giving away too much of the plot, because unfortunately sometimes all you need to do is read the inside cover of a book to see right through to what will happen throughout the pages.
It’s perfect for me, really.
Check out this website if you want to stimulate your brain a bit. Sit outside and enjoy the weather while it’s still bearable…and why not bring a good book too.
