annabtgWe went to the book exposition here in Kalamata tonight. We've been going almost every year for the past ten years or so.
It feels so weird, seeing all these books and NOT getting cravings to buy half the merchandise. There were many books that seemed interesting but somehow I *knew* I wouldn't be sitting down to read them.
I also realized I haven't grown up as a reader at all. I'm afraid to move to something more "adult" - the things that would catch my eye would be Greek kids/teens literature, Enid Blyton, stuff like that. I considered Agatha Christie for a while but I ended up with Meg Cabot's The Princess Diaries (Vol. I). Something light I know I will sit down and finish in a reasonable amount of time.
I never, ever thought I'd outgrow books or reading, but it happened. Sigh. I've been reading books since I was 4, and now it feels like I've lost a friend.
:(
