I am not a reader. That does not mean that I don't know how to read it just means I am not one to always be reading a book. But I will confess to be an avid blog reader. There are many reason as to why I am not a reader and the list could go on and on but I will share with you the main reason.
I get ADDICTED!
When I pick up a book and like it, it immediately becomes impossible for me to put it down. I stay up late, I ignore my husband, children, the house. I put everything off until the book is finished. It becomes quite the inconvenience. I try to lead a normal life while reading a book but I think it is impossible for me. So once I finish a book I usually take a couple of months off to give the family, house, etc the love and attention they need.
Right now I am reading Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe. It is the second book in a series about Josephine Bonaparte. It is fiction, written in diary format by Sandra Gulland, very interesting. I read the first book The Many lives and Sorrows of Josephine B while on vacation. I loved it, so as soon as I got home I rushed to the library to get the sequel. There is one more book in the series so my family should not expect me to come out of my reading stupor until the end of the week. I do have to say that I hate recommending books because everyone has different taste. So I am not officially recommending this book, I am just saying that this is what I am reading and I am enjoying it.
So there you have it. Now you know why I am not a reader. I get addicted.
I'm not a huge reader either, but for different reasons. I appreciate your "not recommending" a book even though you love it. That's so empathetic of you (or is it empathic?). Sounds interesting, but also like history and so I'm not quite sure if I'd be interested in it...
ReplyDeleteHahahaha,Angela, you are so funny! I am the EXACT same way (which is why I still have yet to read the rest of the Twilight series...I knew I was doomed when I stayed up 24 hours to read the first one). I thought that the reason why you were being so quiet was because you were recovering from vacation but here you are indulging in reading! Sneaky! I like it! ;)
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, we miss you and you need to come out of hiding and come hang out with us! Plus I got your movie back so you HAVE to see me sometime to get it! :)
After I read your blog, someone else I was talking to at work was saying that this was the exact reason why she doesn't read much either! She gets hooked and won't want to put the book down.
ReplyDeleteHey, I started "The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B." yesterday and I'm really enjoying it! Thanks for the "suggestion"!
ReplyDeleteOk, I read all three books and loved them! Thanks again!
