When I was little, I read ALL THE TIME! I loved it! I remember feeling so "accomplished" once in elementary school because I read TWO books in one day! (Who cares that they were just "Box Car Children Mysteries"!) I stayed in bed all day long reading...and I didn't even fall asleep!
Then came junior high and high school...I had much more important things to do! Then it was college...who has time to read in college! I didn't even make time to read "required" reading for my classes! I thought I'd wait until after college to really spend time reading for pleasure. Wow! Was I wrong! I spent too much time planning lessons, grading papers, and SLEEPING!
So, since I've started my new job this year and have a little less outside prep, I've tried to make reading more of a priority. I really do like a good book. The question was...what do I read?
I was reminded of a great book I read several years ago...probably during summer vacation! It is by Francine Rivers, "Redeeming Love". Side note, anything by Francine Rivers is super! So, I bought a copy of the book and I'm already in love! I've found myself reading instead of watching TV and even staying up late just to read! Woohoo!
I think I read this book in one sitting. Maybe I should read it again!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the reading thing, it does feel accomplishing! Everytime i finish a book I snap it shut with a loud bang to let everyone know I'm done : P
