Inaugural Post

I love reading, and have for years. I also enjoy writing about what I’ve read. So this is a chance for me to do exactly that. Simple enough. So hopefully, I’ll write about books—books I’ve read, books I’ve reread, books I was supposed to read but didn’t (of which there are, unfortunately, quite a few). When it comes to reading, I am a magpie (hence the name of the blog). I like fiction, biographies, even young adult books. Occasionally, I may meander to other topics, like movies or even food. Especially if I’m in the midst of reading a lengthy book. So here goes nothing! First up, I'm rereading The Custom of the Country.
