I used to be a reader. I also used to be a writer. The summer I turned 13 I read 12 books. 12 books in two months. My reading comprehesion skills usually far out-weighed those of other kids in my class. Though, my math skills were farrrrrrr from outstanding. :x Regardless, I loved words. The ability to sit down with a book and totally lose myself. The sad part? I haven't read a book in months. Not since my birthday last May when I read A Thousand Splendid Suns in five hours. In an attempt to start reading again, I've put togethet a list of books. A book a day used to be the norm for me, but since planning the wedding and everything else that's going in my life, I've set back to a book a month.
My list of reads in no particular order:
Three Cups of Tea
Greg Mortenson
David Oliver Relin
The Man You'll May
Debbie Macomber
Push
Sapphire
Time Travelers Wife
Audrey Niffenegger
The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini
The Wednesday Sisters
Committed
Elizabeth Gilbery
Have a Little Faith
Mitch Albom
Also - I'm going to FINALLY read Jodi Picoult! I think I may start with Committed? Although ... I already have the Time Travelers Wife and The Wednesday Sisters on my book shelf :) Tonight beings the reading!!!!!
