Ever since my first child was born over ten years ago (I still can't believe it!), I've had the desire to write stories. It was one of my best friends who was the first person to encourage me to seriously pursue writing and planted the seed of self publishing my idea for a novel years ago. Although it hasn't happened yet, the desire to write has led me to read more than I ever used to. I've developed a love of stories and truly enjoy spending hours lost in a good book. There's still a strong desire in me to create and I thought how can I combine the things I enjoy? That's how the idea of My Bookish Life came to be. A place to share my ideas and write about the bookish things I love: books, music and life as I know it. I hope you enjoy!
