When I decided to start this blog, I thought to myself, "I should start reading more." because in my head, this will make me a better writer, so I set a goal of two books a month and I got to work.
The truth is I LOVE to read, but with my busy life it just gets put on the wayside. I have to say I LOVE this goal of 2 books because
A. it is a doable goal and
B. it is reminding me of my passion of reading...I love it when I pick up a good book and get lost in it!
I mean come on... I get to COMPLETELY forget about my reality and I fall into someone else's! And the best thing is I get to make them look and talk however I want! I LOVE that!
I also love it when I pick up a good book that helps me when I am in a rut or a dark place. After my mom died, I was in such a dark place and my world was in slow motion. One day I read about a book on a friend's social media page, that I ran out that day got it. It has helped me so much that I have given it to at least 4 people going through some rough times. And it was after reading that book that I decided to dive in and do this blog that I had been playing with for months.
Reading for me can be very entertaining, it can be healing, and it can be a much needed escape. It can be these things for you too! Will you join me on my journey and read with me?
I promise you will find yourself lost in some amazing make believe worlds that you get to dream up all by yourself in your quiet space! Now, I can't promise that every book will be good, but I will do my best! And on the flip side if you have a book that you love, please tell me about it and I will read it as well! After all...
The more that you read the more things that you will know....the more that you learn the more places you'll go!
