A Week of Thanksgiving – Books

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 by Lolli 5 Comments

Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.”

I don’t remember learning how to read, but I remember reading. My mom read to me daily. She read books like Where the Red Fern Grows and A Wrinkle in Time. We read them over and over. And then I found my own books and devoured them on my own.

I haven’t stopped reading. I only wish that I had more time to do it.

Reading takes me away. It’s when I have a book in my hands that I truly relax.

And I need more of that lately.

I just finished Bel Canto for the second time this weekend, and now I’m starting The Throne of Fire so I can do a little mother-son bonding with my 10 year old Rick Riordan fan.

I love books.

What are some of your favorite books?

    I read a book every week. Seriously. Obviously I also don’t sleep. We’re total Rick Riordan fans too by the way!

    Thank you for the recommendation!! My 10 year old eats up books. When he finds one (or a series) that he likes, he reads it over and over. He’s gone thru the Percy Jackson series 5 or 6 times. :)

    We have a 10-year old Riordan fan in house, too! :) We just finished Brian Selznick’s “Invention of Hugo Cabret” and ADORED it…are picking up the next, “Wonderstruck.”

    Have a GREAT Thanksgiving, Lolli!
