books.

Reading books has become a staple of my summer. I love to read all year round, but during the school year most of the reading I accomplish is straight out of a text book. Now that I am loving up my free time, I am enjoying a bunch of non-science reads.

I was out to lunch with my mom the other day - when I went to grab my wallet out of my purse I realized that I had 4 books in my purse too! I usually try to keep a book with me, just in case I'm out somewhere and get bored, but I was surprised to find four of them.

I remember a short period of time when I was a child when I disliked reading. Obviously that phase passed quickly. Now I cruise through books left and right. I am a quick reader and it does not take me much time to get through a good book. This is both a blessing and a curse. It means that I am always on the look out for a new books, but it's nice that I can read a lot in a relatively short amount of time.

I do hope that as the boys grow up they learn to love books as much as I do. I will see to it that this habit is strongly encouraged along the way.. That does not make me pushy. Just insistent in the most cheerful way.

Enough for now,
Carmen
