Learning To Read

The past several years I have not read much at all. I would not even use an entire 5 fingers to count the number of books I have read from beginning to end since college. Recently, however, I read the entire Twilight Saga in a matter of weeks! They were all so entertaining it was easy for me to get through them. My sister had been telling me for quite some time that I should read them, so I did. I have to admit I very much enjoyed the time I spent reading!
Many of you may have the same story as to why you do not read much. I was forced to read so many boring text books in high school and college I grew tired of reading and quit all together. I am determined now though to expand the number of books I have read! After talking with my friend Kinsey about how we both enjoy reading, we decided to start a book club! We had our first meeting this past Monday and are currently reading The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter. We picked out 9 additional books to read through the rest of this year. I am so excited about this new hobby of mine! I made cute bookmarks for each lady in the club. I stole the idea off Etsy (my new favorite place to go), though I'm sure mine are not as well put together.

I am excited about starting to read again! It is a great way to spend my time. There are so many books out there I want to read too. Hopefully I will have plenty of time to read them all!
