My name's Rachel. I'm 17 (very very nearly 18). My life revolves around doing things. I cannot sit around and do nothing. I use things to escape reality. I spend 90% of my money on gigs and concerts and cds. My new year's resolution was to read more books. It's not that I don't like reading, in fact when given the right book, you can't keep me away from it, it's just that I don't have enough time to read. Anyway, I have just firmed a place to study Classics in September at the Royal Holloway. Everyone asks me what I want to do when I'm older, am I allowed to say read? Classics isn't your conventional degree, it has no guaranteed jobs at the end. Truthfully I love book shops, I love escaping to a new world, I love feeling connected to a book. I love holding a new book. I love discovering things. I would love to read as a career. This blog is being set up by me to attempt to share with you my recent reads and thoughts and feelings and emotions and giggles and tears and ramblings. I don't know maybe I can get good at rambling and one day can say that reading is my career.
All suggestions welcome, need as many as I can get!
