By the way, i love to read!

I have been reading a lot these past few months and it’s been fun to learn new things. I have also been reading books with my sister Rebecca and then discussing them over the phone. I have read too many books to list which I feel happy about. Last year I made a goal to read "new" books.
 I was in a rut of just reading the same books in my personal library
 Over and over
And over.
They are good books, mostly classics, but I needed to learn new things and reading is always my favorite way to do that.
I started with books I had read for collage classes books like 'raising an emotionally intelligent child' By John Gottman and then worked on reading the recommended books listed in the back, I also did that with "the happiness project" By Gretchen Rubin and "love and logic" By Foster Cline and Jim Fay.
 I got many of the books written by  C.S. Lewis that I had not read before and I read a few what I would call "heavy" fiction books like "the curates awakening" By George MacDonald.
I read AT LEAST 12 books on marriage, which I always enjoy (I am careful about what books I choose to read not all of them are good); I also read "the Fly lady" and "America's Cheapest family". I enjoyed all of them I then decided to turn more attention to "church" books like 'return' by Robert D Hales and "because he first loved us" by Henry B Eyring.
I also bought several books for my personal library! I want to be honest Mitchell bought me a lot of books I wanted; I have the best Husband ever!
I then went on a search for children's books I love.  I found several at thrift shops! 'I love you this much' and "A snowy day' and many by Dr sues, how exciting! Mitchell also bought me several children's books of Amazon, he really is the best!
But now after months of informative reading I decided to start to branch back out towards fiction because, I’ll be honest, I missed it! I have purchased books like 'the poisonwood bible' and 'out of the dust' for me to read because I feel like they have a lot of good historical information to give me but I also bought 'A year down yonder' By Richard Peck (I love his books) and "Ballet shoes' By Noel Stratified simply because I love children’s literature.
I still felt hungry for a "new flavor" of book then I normally read, so my mom lent me a historical fiction book "and only to deceive' so fun! So now I am hungry for more fun reading! I walked down the street to my new neighbor and good friends house Holly Barns and she lent me another historical fiction book and already I am hooked!
I check out books from the library 5 at a time and I always use the online system to place holds on the books I want to read from home! One of my favorite things about being a Stay at home mommy is reading books at nap time, or more often, reading books in bed after the kids are asleep
Before I sound like someone that should be smarter than I am, with all this reading, I will say that although we DON’T have cable or any TV, we do own several seasons of Bewitched, Gilligan’s island and our favorites Seinfeld and Psych! So yes I do like my “TV shows”!
