Reading is Indeed Right!

I have been wanting to create this blog forever.  And since I've finally started, I might as well start it out right.  And thus, I am starting with my childhood inspiration:

BELLE!

I'm sure that's not a huge surprise when you look at the title of my blog, but Belle has made a huge impact on my life, starting in my childhood.  I'll never forget watching Disney movies, and when Beauty and the Beast finally came out, I was obsessed.  After the scene when the Beast gives Belle the library, I remember always wanting a book to read.  Needless to say, I started following the mantra WWBD (What Would Belle Do?).  And throughout everything, books have always been there for me.  When I need a place to escape to, or somewhere to come home to, there's always a book that fits my mood.  But as of late, I've been having trouble keeping track of my mini-library.  I've always wanted a place to record how I feel about books I've read, who I would cast as the main characters, or just a couple of off handed comments.  I've finally found my outlet!

Throughout my blogging experience, I will begin by marking down when I start a book, why I chose the book, or what brought that book to me.  And I will end with closing thoughts.  Books come to us in mysterious ways, and I feel it is finally time to pay homage to the Land of Lost Books.
