I love to read. I have loved to read ever since I was a kid and my best friend’s Mom would feed me books (her kids weren’t readers so she adopted me :) ) like my favorites The Scarlet Pimpernel, Anna Karenina, Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask, Count of Monte Cristo, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, multiple Greek & Roman mythology books, and more and more classics. I would soak up all these books. Then throw in all the comic books I would read and it seems like that’s all I did! (even though I know I did more as I was outside all the dang time!)<\/p>\n
Summer is a great time for me to read as I lay in the sun and read…for hours. My current “To be read book right now”<\/strong> stack on my nightstand is:<\/p>\n 8th Confession – James Patterson (JUST FINISHED LAST NIGHT!) Then there is my 2nd stack under my nightstand of “I need to read very soon”<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Lipstick Jungle – Candace Bushnell And in my cart at Amazon…<\/strong> This is a lot of stuff to read! And I still have more I want or will definitely find and want it soon!! So I better get on this!!! I was hoping to get at last 4 books read this vacation week. I’ve finished 1…I am waaaay behind…yikes….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love to read.
