Bookshelf

Do you ever find yourself staring at people’s bookshelves when you have a zoom meeting? Do you snoop to see what people are reading while stuck in the airport, or on a plane/bus? I confess to all of the above.

I get distracted by other people’s books, and I love to learn about what people are reading. Helps me to consider my next book. Bookshelves are spectacular works of art and architecture to me.

I will probably want to read what you are reading. Here are some questions I’m thinking about asking the next time we get together and talk books.

·      What book would you read over and over again?

·      What book could you read in one sitting, it was that good?

·      What book made you pee your pants from laughing out loud, or made you throw up a little bit in your mouth?

·      Which book have you reread the most?

·      Which book is the one you’d like signed by the author?

·      What book kept you up way too late?

·      What did you read that made you weep uncontrollably?

·      What book is the one that holds the recipe to a good life?

If you’re interested in more book talking, then head over to the BUTTERCUP podcast and listen to what Zibby Owens of “Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books” has to say on episode 37 (click bold link) which was our first time adding video to the audio podcast.
