Books, Books, Books

I love to read. Since graduating high school I have found a real pleasure from reading. It is great fun to go to a library or book store and browse all of the shelves. There are so many possibilities. I normally read quite a bit, averaging one or two books a month. However when the wedding planning started my reading basically dropped off. I started one or two books and never finished them. Yikes! I hate doing that, I really really do.



All that is about to change though. I am currently reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. You know the Twilight author. I got the book originally for the honeymoon. But then a friend lent me a different book. I raced through that and then only got about 1/4 of the way through The Host. Last week though I was determined to finish if once and for all. To be honest, it is kind of a far out book, pretty Sci-Fi for my taste. That wasn't the reason though that I stopped reading it. When I travel I like to have some entertainment on the plane however this book is 600 plus pages and the thing weighed a ton. I could never bring myself to lug it around with all of my other clothes, work and random travel stuff I absolutely needed to have.

Now back to the book, I finished it the other night. I was so proud. My goal is back to two books per month. Reading lets you make your own world while you are reading. I use reading to take me to all of the places (literally and figuratively) I cannot be. I am very much looking forward to see where my ventures take me.

Now you understand my need for a Nook. For those of you who love me there is still some shopping time left!
