1. Wow!! This is so awesome!! Simply loved your expression through these book spines, Corinne!! 🙂

   1. Thanks to you for the inspiration, Shilpa!

2. That is so nice!

   1. Glad you liked it, Rahul. My first attempt at book spine poetry.

3. Hi Corinne,

   Other people’s feelings and expressions hidden in the words as I see mostly 😉 Words can be of anyone but not exact feelings and expressions, no? 🙂

   Cheers…

   1. I’ve been dying to do a book spine poetry post for a while, Mayura. Ran out of words today and chose this to express myself.

4. Wow! This is amazing! 🙂
   I would love to try this sometime .

   1. I saw it on Shilpa Garg’s blog and remembered having seen it earlier, Akanksha. I can see myself getting addicted to this!

5. What a fabulous idea, Corinne. I truly agree with you. Sometimes other people can express our views and feelings better than we can. I think that it’s because we’re so involved, we can’t think objectively enough to express ourselves entirely.

   Great image.

   1. Book spine poetry has been around for a while now, Anne. I’ve been itching to do it. You’re so right – we often lean on other people’s words to tell our story. Having said that, I marvel at the way you have told yours and the way you’re living it out too. ♥

6. Anne has put it so nicely……so true.

   1. You should read Anne’s story sometime, Alka. I’m waiting for her to write part two. She’s a truly inspirational woman.

7. Great idea Corinne –
   Must try the book spine thing myself.

   Thanks for the inspiration

   1. I’m warning you it’s kind of addictive, Pete! I can see myself doing this again.

8. Love it Corinne! Very creative. Your selections raise my mood and make me smile. I have read some of them, and the other titles say a lot in the titles alone. Life affirming!

   P.S., You have given me the idea, which I have not seen before. I have plenty of good books. I may try it.

   1. Glad you liked it, Buddy. Book Spine Poetry is by no means my idea. I have seen it on other blogs and decided to try my hand at it. Do give it a try – it’s fun!

9. Love it, and love the idea of book spine poetry!

   1. Thanks so much, Dawn. I’ve been meaning to try my hand at this for a while. I can see myself doing it again!

10. Hi Corinne,

    I love this post because of the simplicity but yet the power of the message.
    Makes you think of the book titles that apply to yourself….
    Well done
    Mark

    1. Thanks so much, Mark. I would like to try this again with other books I have. 🙂
       What titles would you choose for yourself?

11. ahhhhh! glad i returned!!! that is not cheating — it is collaborating!!!!!

    1. Glad you liked it, Linda. Collaborating? Now that’s what I’m look forward to doing with you. ♥

12. Such a beautiful message brought out so nicely 🙂

    Loved it!! <3

    1. Thanks, Privy. You should try your hand at it – I’m sure you’ll come up with a good one too.

13. Great example of less is more! A message that is so true. Thank you Corrine

    1. Thanks so much, Lydia! 🙂

14. Live, Love & Laugh is what is on the walls of our home. I do like the living loving and learning book. It takes me into our living room where the is a sign hanging above the piano my wife teaches at that reads ” To Teach is to Love”.
    Great inspiration. Thanks!

    1. Thanks for sharing, Jim. What a lovely sentence ‘To Teach is to Love’ is. That might inspire me to do a post someday soon!

15. good one, Corinne!!

    1. Thanks, Roshini.

16. Perfect ! corinne, love this expression !

    1. You must try it out sometime, Janet.

17. Loved the collection. The book spines tell the complete story indeed 🙂

    1. Thanks, Jas. That’s just a few of my collection. I’m not sure when the collecting is going to end – so you can expect more such ‘stories’ from me! 😉

18. Fabulous :). Indeed books often reflect our thinking.

    1. Thanks, Rachna. Indeed they do. I think we go out and unconsciously find what we need in books.

19. A picture is worth a thousand words!

    1. It sure is , Annetta. Thanks so much for coming by.

20. You,for sure come up with original ones

    1. I wish I could claim the idea as mine , Mr Chowla. But then the selection of books is mine! 😉

21. This would make an excellent Friday moment! Very creative, Corinne!

    1. Yes, it would, Martha. I’m getting back to Friday moments soon. Would love to see your attempt at book spine poetry.

22. I want to tell myself “Will the real me stand up please??” Its getting to that levels sometimes !!!
    I like the way you’ve done this post !!!

23. loved this…and the new look of your blog.

24. Book spine poetry! That’s brilliant. I’m going to look at my books on the shelf in a totally new way.

25. Coolest thing I’ve seen all day! Thank you so much for the surprise.

26. My story life is very simple.I am very easy & casual boy.Any away I am very serious about term of plan.

27. I’ve seen other friends do it and your book spine poetry is great 🙂 Wow! I like the midlife awakenings most of all 😉

28. Hello Corrine,

    This is stunning. I am seeing such a post for the first time in my life and you are unique in all ways.
    I will read all your articles and share my thoughts on those within the next 6 months.
    That’s a personal target I have set for myself.

    Sincerely,
    Rafi
