As a child summer was my favorite time of the year. During Summer time slowed down to a crawl. There was no rush to get up in the morning to catch the bus for school, no homework assignments, no schedules… What was a girl to do with all that time? Why read of course. From I discovered the Bobbsey Twins, Famous Five, Secret Seven and a few others when I was about seven or eight, books have been a huge part of my life especially those lazy summer days.
I am an avid bookworm and when I was younger I was hardly ever without a book. I read on buses, during recess at school, at the beach, at the dinner table, I even tried sneaking a reading book into church. I got caught though so that was the end of that.:) I can remember as a teenager getting so caught up in reading that I’d forget to do my chores, until I heard the angry, “Bernadine!” which meant my mom was home. The "Bernadine" instead of the usual “Bernie” meant she wasn’t very happy with me…
Today I’m still very much a bookworm and still love summer days where I can curl up and lose myself in a book, maybe that's why I chose teaching as a profession, I didn't want to give up my summers:).
What about you? Do you enjoy reading? What are some of your favorite books? What are you reading right now?
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Dr. Seuss

I like to meet other readers, and enjoyed your story about reading. Right now I'm reading a book about Jesus by NT Wright, a historical novel, and a book on bibilical interpretation.
Much of what I read shows up in sermons, articles and blog posts. I read a lot on Proverbs, so that is why many of my blog posts reflect that. The current post is on conflict.
Thanks for this article!
I love to read sweetie. I love reading my bible, devotions, ect.
