What Do I Wish To Read?

Wishcasting Wednesday is here again.

What Do I Wish To Read?

I have always been a bookworm. Give me a good book, a comfy chair and some sunshine and I will be happy for weeks! So what do I wish to read? As often happens with Jamie’s wishcasting prompts, my first answer was a little flippant…but then when I got to the juicy underlying answer – wow! First, to the flippant first answer – I wish to read all the books that are sat on my bookcase waiting to be read! Although I am a great believer that when you read is as important as what you read so I’m not too fussed about ticking all these books off the to-read list (I have read most of the books in this picture by the way – there’s only 20 or so unread books here).

There are hundreds more books in my ‘wishlist in my head’ that I would love to read…I’ll get to them one of these days. But now, onto the answer that sits underneath the flippant one. The answer that speaks of a long held dream that I rarely talk about. But now seems a good time, and here seems a good place to admit it to you. I wish to read the novels that I wrote. I haven’t written them yet. But I wish to read them. I always wanted to be an author, and it’s only in the last few years that I’ve thought it could be a possibility. I’ve written a non-fiction ebook, 100’s of articles and blog posts and although it may be immodest of me to say so, I always enjoy reading them again! So I wish to read my novels. (picture me now looking a bit shy and scared!)

Get involved on Jamie’s blog, or leave a comment here. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.

    Thank you all for your lovely comments and for adding your energy to my wish. Some of the comments got ‘lost’ because my website was being moved to a new server last night 🙁 But I read them all, and I appreciated them all – in fact, I shared on Jamie’s fb page that your comments were the favourite part of my day yesterday! xxx
