The Voracious Reader

It is comforting to know that I am not alone in my bibliomania, and intense love of reading. It was by chance that I discovered the beautiful, insightful woman below. I am always inspired by women who have the courage to write with transparency, completely revealing their innermost thoughts. I continue to piece together the book that I have been working on for several years now. Being the perfectionist that I am, I still do not feel that I am ready to submit it for publishing. Everyday I continue to do what I love, reading and writing. Books have been a permanent fixture in my life. When people fail, I know that I can always lose myself within the labyrinths of my books. I can use my pen to express my darkest thoughts and vulnerabilities. Momentarily, pain subsides and I can gain perspective.





"I, who live sidewise, I’m to the left of whoever comes in. And in me the world trembles."
