Reader's Bliss

In my last post, I mentioned the beautiful stack of new books on my desk. I'm quickly making my way through that pile and experiencing all kinds of reader's bliss in the process. Here's a look at what that means to me:


  • Bliss is finding a book that takes your mind off of your own writing for a while.
  • Bliss is finding a a book that is so beautifully written, that the minute you read the last word, you turn back to the front and begin reading it again.
  • Bliss is discovering a new (to you) author, getting hooked on her books, and not having to wait for her to write more.
  • Bliss is having a friend who reads the same books that you do so that you can discuss them when you finish.
  • Bliss is reading a book that not only inspires you to be your best, but makes you believe your best is truly possible.
  • Bliss is reading a book that makes you feel like someone understands you.
  • Bliss is reading a book that makes you feel like you've made new friends.
  • Bliss is reading a book that helps you understand more about human nature and how much we all have in common, no matter how great our differences.
  • Bliss is reading a book that makes you feel loved for who you are.
  • Bliss is reading a book that you think about for days after you finish reading it.

What does your reader's bliss look like and what was the last book that transported you there?
