If you have ever been to my home it will not come as a surprise that I love books. Other than the bathrooms, every room in our home has at least one bookcase. Reference books, picture books, study books, how-to-fix, how-to-do, cookbooks, poetry, biographies, history, fiction - I love 'em all!
When asked to name my favorite author, I stumble how to respond. I love one certain author because of her believable characters. I love another author because their plots always have me on the edge of my seat. Then yet a different author has me mesmerized by their descriptive language. Who can pick just one favorite?!
Around here, someone in our family usually has their nose in a book - so it always baffles me when I hear someone say they don't like to read. It just doesn't compute for me. Reading takes you to places you will probably never visit, gives you knowledge how to do something, captures your imagination, and stretches you beyond your comfort zone. Books are incredible treasures.
I need to close for now... I'm in the middle of a good book and I want to see how the story is going to end.
