A GIRL YOU SHOULD DATE - Date a girl who reads...

I agree with Theoddz and Rockingonahigh….it REALLY twists my knickers when my partner reads as well! We don’t have to read together, I can be hand embroidering, designing new projects, making clothes, etc. There’s a seductive, sensuousness about reading together, being read too, and reading too the one you’re in love with….

Sitting on a beautiful couch, comfortable with tea, two lovers with books for hours... Heaven in a sentence..

....Or snuggled in bed with hot tea, cats and stolen kisses....

....Sitting or laying together in the garden, under a tree or a park/beach with ice cold drinks and a picnic....

I love reading aloud. And telling stories.

As a parent it was my joy to entertain my kids with stories.... so I had to come up with many different voices, accents, expressions, oh and used puppets...

I still tell stories at different events, even with puppets. I love to research old myths and legends to retell to adults. My story telling, I assure you, is not for children anymore!!

When I read to my lovers, it is with voices and expressions. Trying to engage the imagination and the senses.

I also enjoy reading together. My favorite time EVER is lying in a tent while it is raining outside. Listening to the rain, snuggling deeper into the sleeping bag, snackies and a hot cup of coffee. (in my uber large Tim Hortons Mug I might add!!)

Its funny the books you cherish.. I was 17.....in a small bookstore in Provincetown, Mass, I saw a book on a shelf. The butch on the cover was in tight jeans, a white tee a black leather jacket with slicked back hair. I opened it and my eyes fell upon the lines,.".....she could feel the wetness of Mercedes' panties against the back of her knuckles...". It was called The Swashbuckler...It was the moment I knew without a doubt I was femme.....Love that book !!!

Is it me or is it true that most "girls who read", are tea drinkers?

pinkgeek · 12-16-2011, 06:49 PM

I think you are on to something.. I'm equal parts tea and coffee drinker..

Thought so.

Just like they like tea, but aren't necessarily anti-coffee, I think they are pro cat (but are not anti dog, necessarily).

I’m not a coffee drinker and I’m famous for drinking herbal teas, lol! ….For me, it’s the feeling of a simple luxury and indulgence of a good book, a pot of my favourite tea, maybe a square of chocolate or my favourite fruits sliced to eat with vegan cheese and sitting or laying comfortably and losing myself in the writing and images my mind conjurs up.

Glenn · 12-17-2011, 04:05 AM

I've rescued from garbage trucks Ovid, Ouida, Maupassant, DH Lawrence, Maugham, Yogananda...which will have to be pryed from my cold, dead, hands someday. If I had my way, I'd read eighteen hours a day. Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure of dating a femme who "smelled of the lamp" of midnight oil.

Fabrics and books for me!

I often look through the local charity shops for books....the same when the Library has a sale on. Car boot sales, Fetes, anywhere that is likely to sell books. Sadly though, many books in these places are badly damaged and not worth spending the 25p on them!

I use the Library a lot and if I like a book, I'll buy it from Waterstone's or Amazon. With travelling so much and losing books when moving, I've kept my book collection down to a minimum. Once I settle down somewhere that I know will be permanent, then I'll re-start my book collection again.

Kindle...my friend...kindle.

I have transitioned completely and, although wondering if I'd miss the feel of a book in my hands, find that I don't at all. The beauty of it is that I can enjoy all the books I want...a new one anytime I want...carry 3,000 of them in my purse....and all with no books to dust or walls of bookshelves.

Love it...

Diva · 12-17-2011, 07:08 AM

I've been known to walk into a book store and cry....tears of happiness, as I didn't know where to begin.

I've been known to buy a book simply by what it felt like in my hands. Most times, the book touched my heart in some way.

I love to travel..........and two of my best memories are The Tattered Cover in Denver and Powel's in Portland....I don't remember much else about Denver and Portland.

There is just something about the smell of a book store that makes me drunk with happiness.

There are books/book cases in almost every room in my home. I need more of both.......

I will remain a traditionalist in this way (and a few others, lol!) and will not go willingly into the 21st century with eReaders....*Stamps foot in stubbornness, then sits down and pulls out a paperback book for a quick -ish read* LOL!

Nah! I reckon it'll be years (or another lifetime) before I make the complete transition to eReaders....I'm still trying to get the hang of my Android phone and so far, I'm failing spectacularly, especially when I cut people off trying to answer it! LOL!

Thank you

for the gentle encouragement my friend, but, for now, I'll stay antiquated, lol!
