Book Memories


So....

I am resurrecting this blog because I have returned to commuting for the past three months - unlike what appears to be the entire rest of the world I am LOVING it. For years now I have not had time to read, and the train gives me the chance to completely immerse myself in a book for a couple of hours a day, without worrying about making dinner, washing clothes, cleaning the house, yada yada yada!

However, this joyous activity presents me with a new difficulty. I have been devouring books, but it looks like mumnesia is a long term illness - not long after finishing a book I have difficulty remembering the name of the book, the author, and a lot of the detail within it! I know if I liked it, loved it, was astounded by it, or, on a very very rare occasion, didn't like it at all - but only the generalities and not the detail. I thought, I must get one of the kids copies and start to keep a record of books I've read (so I can share my thoughts with others) - then I remembered this blog.

So, even if no one ever reads it I've decided Nattering Chatterings will still be a great space for me to well, natter and chatter about books. So here goes - hopefully I'll be a bit more active online than I have been to date!
