I haven't done a very good job of keeping track of my reading challenge books. I have been bad about planning all around and just grabbing as I go. It was my first attempt at a reading challenge of any kind and I  hope to be better in the coming year. I like that it makes me read out of my niche.

I am a reader, not a writer...

Recently while visiting family I was asked by a relative if/When I was writing a book. It took me by surprise because I have never considered writing a book, I have never kept a journal,  never even written a proper review. I love reading, but more than that I love books, as physical objects! They are beautiful, feel nice to hold, smell interesting, make pleasant little sounds as you turn a page , I have yet to taste a book but I have made some delicious recipes from them.

A little about me, my name is Maudaevee, I'm an avid reader!! I started as child, I lived with my grandpa in a retirement community, technically no children were allowed, I had to be quiet and so reading was the perfect way to pass time. The library was in walking distance and I loved that I could go in and get as many books as I could carry home. Now as an adult I still love libraries, bookstores and reading, I have books everywhere and at all times. I read many genres and collect books. I'm currently focusing on dictionaries, short stories, fairytales and folklore.

Listening to this fascinating audiobook while I try and organize my bookshelves. The 'hermit' was a man named Chistopher Knight, he was an avid reader. It blows my mind that he was able to survive in the manner he did for so long. I liked Michael Finkel's writing style and will look for more of his work. I also found the interviews with Christopher amusing, he had a few quotable moments. I may add those here later.
