Monday and cold and snow and wind

I am watching Julie & Julia and it made me wonder if that is what I am trying to do except without cooking.
 
So here I am getting ready to start a new book as if it is a new recipe.  Savoring it, tasting it, smelling it, and digesting it.  Pretending that every word is a new ingredient with each chapter another course in the meal.  As Julia's husband said, 'you are the butter to my bread and the breathe to my life'.  Is this not how a book can make you feel?  You can not wait to come back and see what the next word is going to be, to hold it in your hands, share a glass of wine and dream about it.

A book is something to cry with, laugh with, share the love with others, and fall into the story. 

Go forth and fall in love with your next book and the next characters.........
