Writers block? A Book review

A death of someone who is so important in your life

can do strange things to you.

For me, the writers block has got to end.

So today, I am going to attempt to write a blog

here in hopes I can get some good stuff back to share with all.

I am trying to get back to my reading love again which

has also been hard but is back full steam.

I am a JODI PICOULT lover.

Meaning I love her books, her style of writing.

Her newest one I bought for the ipad a few weeks ago

and am finally really getting into the meat of the story.

I am slowly reading it as it is deep with so many messages

in there for us all.

Her writing in the book is about a damaged female baker

who befriends an older man who has been a soldier

in Hitler's army, responsible for  many deaths of the holocaust.

Jodi writes and leaves so many messages in her stories.

For instance, She explains the characters love for vintage books;

"TRUE, YOU COULDN'T GO IN THERE AND FIND THE

LATEST BESTSELLER, BUT WHEN YOU HELD

ONE OF THOSE VOLUMES IN YOUR HANDS,

YOU WERE LEAFING THROUGH ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE.

SOMEONE ELSE HAD ONCE LOVED THAT STORY, TOO. 

SOMEONE ELSE HAD CARRIED THAT BOOK IN A BACKPACK

DEVOURED IT OVER BREAKFAST,

MOPPED UP THAT COFFEE STAIN AT A PARIS CAFE',

CRIED HERSELF TO SLEEP AFTER THAT LAST CHAPTER.

THE SCENT OF THEIR STORE WAS 

DISTINCTIVE; A SLIGHT DAMP MILDEW, A PINCH

OF DUST. TO ME, IT WAS THE SMELL OF HISTORY.

Oh that explains exactly how I feel of all old things

whether it be books or something for my home,

I always wonder, where did this live before here?

I go into old second hand bookstores or libraries

and pull books off the shelves to thumb through them to

see if I can find any tidbits of other owners or readers.

Sometimes I will find a book mark, a writing inside the book,

old mail. I was the geek in school who always had

to look at the names in my school books to see who had

the book the years before me.

As I dig and ponder in antique shops I wonder about

the previous owners. If these things could talk what stories

would they tell?

More from this most awesome book.

If you looking for a new read, this one is great!
