Love for Books II

Love for Books II
Originally uploaded by Olivia Elmiger

Where is your favourite place to read? Mine depends on what I'm reading and of course, the weather. As we roll into autumn I am taking full advantage of a sunny spot on the bench in the garden. I take my tea, a large cushion and my reading selection. It's not so much a luxury as a need. A different need from the way the bathroom may need cleaning, that can wait until tomorrow. Those who said the electronic age would spell the demise of books were wrong. Reading is an emotional need. I love it.

First time

Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog. This is my first posting so I'll keep it short (like me).
I'm not usually lost for words, but I find I'm fairly blank at this point!
Lets' just say I am looking forward to learning much more about blogs so thanks to State Library of NSW and Learning 2.0 for giving me the opportunity.
Maybe blogging will become my new obsession... at the moment I feel more like 0.5 not 2.0, but that's why I'm here.
What makes a successful blog?
Who created the word "blog"?
Why do we suddenly have an insatiable urge to blog?
Will my writing skills improve and I'll be proud of the short, pithy and relevant comments I can make?
Well, I'm short already so one out of three is possible.
Anyway, it's Friday afternoon and in short, I'm out of time and off for a wine.
Happy reading
Helearna
