i am at that wonderful place where i am finishing up a book and anticipating the search for my next book...i sometimes spend more time looking for a book than actually reading it...i enjoy walking up and down the aisles of barnes and nobles with a latte just touching all the possibilities...i read to escape...when steve and i were first married we actually had a 'no tv' night where we would just load the platter cd player with 6 great albums, hit shuffle and read the evening away...not sure how long we carried this out - a week, a month, a year - but i loved knowing that there was a date with my hubby & my book...i read because i love seeing the boys read...nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than watching them at the bookstore or library as they search for their next great read...love to see them sitting on the back patio reading in the afternoon sun long after their required reading minutes have passed...love finding them hiding a book light under their pillow so they can just finish one more chapter...love hearing them quote their favorite lines from a book or poem...today i'm hanging out here to start the hunt...creating a couple of these to keep my place in my next book or maybe this personalized one here...printing a page of these...starting to keep a book journal...make a list of books i want to read or add to the list i already have...off to get lost in my next great adventure.
