Booking Through Thursday – DIY
Posted on May 31, 2012 in Books
This week on BTT:
If you could write a book, what would it be about, and why? (Though, of course, some of you already HAVE.)
I wish I had the ability to write a book because I think there have always been three kinds of books I like to read and wish to write.
First would be food. I’d love to take the photos and write recipes, but also write about food as a cultural effect in our lives.
Second, I’d like to do travel writing. Oddly, I think this is the most realistic aspirations. Even more fun is if I mix the food in with the travel.
Finally, I’d like to read a novel. I read them enough, but I would be glad to finish a long work of fiction. I have attempted to several times, but the stories don’t seem to be in me to finish.
How about you? What books would you write?
I love your variety of choices. Travel writing would be wonderful! Maybe this year you will join NaNoWriMo to finish your novel? It has worked well for me!
Hi Karen! I did NaNoWriMo twice and I couldn’t finish my novel either times. I don’t think it’s in for me to finish a great work of English literature or even a paperback novel that drug stores sell! Thanks for commenting!
I love cook books, and we have way too many of them at home. Still, always room for one more. Travel books too.
I’ve decided that the world is better off without me writing books.
Hi Eva! I collect cook books too, but I only have about five so I need to get on it. I understand what you mean about it being better off not to write in the end. Thanks for the comment as always!
Interesting answer,a nice mix.

Hi Mary Ann! Thanks for the comment.
The traveling book sounds like a great idea.

Hi City Girl! I would love to write more about travel, but I would need to actually do it to write it. Wish someone could pay me for that! hehe. Thanks for commenting!
Travel writing sounds like a great idea! And you could definitely combine it with food 🙂 Great that you have a few ideas! 🙂
Here’s my BTT post:

Hi Rebecca! I’ve found the best travel writing has some component of food in there. Thanks for commenting!
I am not into books but I love cookbooks because it can help me bake and cook different styles of food and I am sure a lot of people would love to have cookbooks at home..
This is actually interesting.. I am not sure if my friends would love this if I share it to them.. Anyway, I just love this one!
I love your book ideas! I travel all the time for work and love finding the local food and places to eat. And when I am home I love cooking and trying new recipes. I would definitely be a fan of your books. My book would also be about travel. See my BTT here
Hi Reading Kelly! I wish I could travel for work, and it must be very fun and interesting for you. Thanks for the comment!
