This book is wrapped-in-a-fluffy-blanket-sipping-a-hot-cup-of-tea-on-a-blustery-rainy-day kind of comforting. Just absolutely lovely.

An anthology of essays for book-lovers to savour, exploring the pleasures of reading, the joy of giving and receiving books, and the capacity of books to transform lives in all sorts of way.

Interesting essays about how different people view books and their connection with them. I always love reading different points of views and this is one of the ones I really enjoyed! It introduced me to different people and I ended up following some of the authors mentioned because I really liked their writing styles!

When I had the book, I aim to finish one essay every time I pick up this book. It started out great but have been a slog on some days. I haven't gotten the chance to re-read the book, but I look forward to re-discovering things I missed!

P.S. Take care not to jump into buying books without first vetting them first though! The enthusiasm of the authors are so contagious I sometimes bought the books without hesitation! There are actually a couple of books that missed the mark for me, for the time being. I'm sure I will be the right person to read those books some time in the future, just not now!
