We have been empty nesters for a few years although my daughter moved back home for two months last year. Our kids' bedrooms are upstairs, and after they moved out, I kind of took over this space.
My son's room is my "writing room." I have two desks, and one faces out a set of double windows. I love to write here. I have my pens, notebook, and many writing books in this room.
My daughter's room is my "reading room." It has many of my book stacks (that aren't in piles downstairs), a "lounge-ish" kind of chair for reading, and bookshelves filled with books read and to be read.
Since I have no other ideas to write about today, I decided to spend some time looking through the books and creating some spine poetry! When I write these, I always wonder, "Do I capitalize them like a title?" and "Do I add punctuation?" This time I did neither!
a space for me and other teacher-writers to share our stories.
A reading room and a writing room - awesome! I also enjoyed your book spine poetry today.
ReplyDeleteI love book spine poetry! Thank you. Having both a writing and a reading room - what luxury. I too turned one of the kids' rooms for me and yet I find myself writing in the living room mostly.
ReplyDeleteBook spine poetry are great, yours sounds perfect. They introduce new titles to some of us. Enjoy your extra spaces for reading and writing.

ReplyDeleteBook spine poetry is fun to do and fun to read.Having lived at Ft. Bragg, home of the 82nd Airborne, I was really drawn to the parachute poem. It’s perfect!
A room for writing and a room for reading! What more could anyone want. Book spine poetry is always fun. arjeha
