What's in a name?

According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).


Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

I'm a readie (like a foodie, only smarter) (79/100)

Someone asked me last week what I like to read. Answering with 'everything' seemed too undiscerning so I mumbled something about 'all sorts'. Reading is a lot like eating. Right now I'm savouring a large dish of early 20th century literature in the form of On Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham. Although I'm enjoying it, I'm beginning to crave a light, fluffy YA fantasy for dessert.

My husband said my slogan should be 'been there, read that'. He's probably right and I don't mind being widely read. It annoys the members of my book club so much so that I'm now in charge of collating the others' to-read lists into three varied choices each month. To this end, I was reading a list of the best book club books on GoodReads. I had read 45 out of the top 50 on the list.

For me books are as vital and varied as food, so what is your preferred meal/genre?
