I love to read. I have to be grateful to my Mother for that...
She seemed to always have a book in her hand.
Every Christmas I could count on finding books under the Christmas tree for me. She also joined a Children's book club for me. I so looked forward each month to see what book they were sending to me.
Books like, Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, Little Women, etc.
I have mentioned before that I'm a member of Good reads...where I can log my books, and try to meet a challenge each year. I Challenged myself to read 50 books this year...
AND I MET MY CHALLENGE... The above book was book number 50.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
Thank you for stopping by my blog.
Blessings,
Jill
I'm a reader, too, Jill, and I have belonged to a book club for about 25 years. I don't like to go to sleep at night without reading for awhile. I really try to stretch myself by reading different genres. Sometimes I even read youth novels, just to see what the youth of today are reading. Right now I am reading House of Stone by Anthony Shadid. It is about life in the Middle East. I hope it helps me to understand why there has always been so much unrest in that region of the world.
ReplyDeleteYou really are a great bibliophile Jill, and well done on reaching your goal - I have never set myself a goal like that, or nothing else would get done. I don't always let myself read for that very reason.

I too enjoyed being in a book club when I was a child, and I still love books but I can't read 50 in a year LOL Wishing you a happy and healthy new year in 2024
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of reading, I don't seem to do that much anymore
ReplyDeleteI don't read as much as I'd like to because I prefer to give each story my undivided attention. So, it's impossible to both read and write at the same time. That being said, I belatedly devoured Where The Crawdads Sing in 3 days between Christmas and New Year. And I'm determined to read more this year xoxo
