I love books. I love them. I love browsing for them in the library, I love the excitement before beginning a new book, I love the feel of them in my hands, I love the smell of the pages, and I love the quiet silence you have at the end of finishing a great book. Most of all, I love where the stories take me...
Then I often wonder, what was the author inspired by? Where were they writing from? What was their view? Where did they set the story?
What this has translated to, for me, is getting extra pleasure from the cities and towns that I visit when there is a link to a book.
So, if you have ever read a book and was breathlessly transported to that place where it was written, keep on checking in to see where those authors lived and where those authors wrote about.
