Here I am! Anna, Books & Sea
Hi, there! I'm Anna.
It was a few years ago, when I left a hectic full-time job in journalism to live by the sea with my husband, two sons and three cats. This year I bought a yellow typewriter, started to wake up with sunrise and write my magnum opus about the sea in literature. I set sail.
My beachbooksblog.wordpress.com is like a diary of my sea trips through the books. I feel inspired to share my passion with readers all over the globe.
My love for the sea. My love for the books.
I want to collect all the books in the world that mention the sea. To finish my encyclopedic journey and publish it. To open a bookshop by the sea and invite you all :)
It was February 2, 2016, when I woke up at dawn, while my boys were still asleep, and started to work on my Enseaclopedia. It was the 134th birthday of James Joyce, and the birth of my journey. Since then I wake up very early to go into my studio on the first floor of the house where I try to understand the secret of the sea.
I’m not in a hurry, because reading is something like breathing. In and out I turn the pages and enjoy the sailing through the words and sentences, through the paragraphs and chapters. Searching for the colors, sounds and moods of the sea. Searching for the ships and boats, waves and islands, sea gods and monsters, ports and lighthouses, sea birds and fishes, sailors and pirates, swimmers and lovers, ebb and flow. For the secret of the sea.
I am really glad I found this network :)
Anna
