Coffee and The City

New York City is my favorite place on earth. I spent the past few days walking the city, going to Broadway, drinking coffee and reading on the train.

As I browsed a physical bookstore in Rockefeller Plaza, I felt so warm inside. The feeling of being surrounded by a ton of gorgeous books cannot be replicated.

As much as I love and adore my kindle- I read 95% of my books digitally- I am a sucker for a beautiful bookstore.

I browsed around on a briskly cool day, just thinking about what it means to be a reader. 

I never tire of spending time between the pages of amazing books.

I added so many books to my TBR while walking around. Just the energy from beautiful books is sustaining.

As I boarded the train on my way back home, I took a deep breath while remembering just how special being a reader is to my essential existence.

I toy around with creating BookTube videos again, but in truth what I miss is that feeling of being able to express just how much reading does for my mental health and for my well-being.

I'm not sure video making or blogging will ever truly convey what it means to sink deeply down into a well written literary work for helping maintain my sanity.

My wish is that every reader is able to touch this sublime feeling that great literature provides.

Happy reading slow living friends.
