I love to read. I remember the summer after 6th grade reading and reading and reading. I love how it takes you into a different world. It paints a picture that allows you to escape the world you're in.
I do have issues with reading. When I start a book, I have a VERY hard time putting it down. Recently I've started doing some reading. It had been a while. I hadn't allowed myself to read so that I could get other things done-like take care of my family, clean the house and cook dinner!
But before the last and final installment of Harry Potter I decided to reread Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (for the 3rd time!). I didn't allow myself too many late nights of reading and I read it in about a week.
Then on our trip to Idaho Bud started reading the Harry Potter books. On the trip he read the first book. I had also packed Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, thinking he might like it. Instead I devoured it!
I came home and quickly read the 2nd and 3rd books in the series. While in Idaho I had also borrowed The Help from my mom. What a great book (and movie btw!). That one I started in the morning and about midnight that night finished it!
Then I realized that we didn't own book 4 or 5 in the Percy Jackson series! I found a friend that had a copy and finished those off last week.
Yesterday I started reading The Last Hero, written by the same author as the Percy Jackson series. I'm loving it. It's my first book to read on N8's Kindle. So far I'm enjoying the Kindle as well.
Bud has also been reading a lot. Since coming home from Idaho, less than a month ago he has read book 2,3,4 and just this week the 5th Harry Potter book! I love that he is enjoying reading and hope that he continue to find a joy in reading as he gets older!
