My name is Nicole Scott! I am an eager reader who mostly enjoys starting books, talking about them and then putting them on the shelf before making it all the way through! I love books for how they settle into their space on my shelves and how they occupy space in my mind.
I have an English degree as well as an Education degree and I am currently working as a High School English teacher at an Outreach school in Calgary. My passion for literature grew during my first degree and it was there that I was introduced to the brilliant literary critic Michel de Montaigne. He speaks to our relationship books and it sure works for me!
"The companionship of books is much more certain and more our own... It has accompanied me all along my way and assists me everywhere. It frees me from the weight of tedious idleness, and releases me at any moment from disagreeable company. To distract myself from tiresome thoughts, I have only to resort to books. Any yet they show no resentment when they see that I only turn to them through like of those other more real, lively and natural satisfactions. They always receive me with the same welcome".
