Cannot get this song out of my head. Vampire Weekend does some amazing stuff. Their new album is lyrical gold. Ezra Koenig is a fine piece of work.
Shoot, but this is a book blog. Hello, bookish wanderers of the internet. The Inkling welcomes you to her first ever blog, Ink the Book. This is a holy place for all of you bookworms out there. You know who you are. You book obsessed beauties who would rather curl up on with some tea and a juicy book than go partying late into the evenings. I feel you. So bring all of your pillows and let's go on a journey of reading together. That was cheesy. Urgh. Rather, let's submerge ourselves in a fictional universe within the papery confines of a book. And yes, I said papery. Not ebook-y. I can't smell the new book smell on those things, and it drives me stir crazy. Maybe someday I'll get used to them, but right now they're cold, bookish carcasses in my hands.
So yes, I am the Inkling. Like my name, I only have a few ideas for what I want this blog to be. Mostly it will be books. Lots of 'em. But I'm an individual with multi-faceted interests, like music and video games. That stuff might make its way into here at some point too, who knows. On the other hand, my name has a bit of a double meaning. Because I'm sneaky. I am also a minion of ink, a creature that admires and respects its power. An Ink-ling, so to speak. Maybe I'm not as clever as I thought. Ah, well. Let me know what you think, any of you out there.
For now, I leave you with a quote from the lovely T.S. Eliot. Peace. Love. Inkwells.
~The Inkling.
"The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink." - T.S. Eliot
