BOOKS
I love getting lost in a great book. I remember reading as a child and feeling as if the characters became friends to me. Never wanting to put a book down because you just cannot wait to see what happens next, and yet dreaded the last page because you don’t want to loose touch with a good friend has always been an issue for me. I tend to read in waves. I can go long periods of time without reading and then I feel compelled to get as much reading in as possible. Now that I have a child in the house some of the time, I think it’s also important for her to see us reading in order to help her cultivate of love of books as well. I also read all genres of books, though I do tend to draw towards the hopeless romance section a little too often! lol
