I have always had this sick obsession with books. I love books. I have always wanted to own a small bookstore. I hope to have a library in my house one day.
So, I thought to myself I shall join a book club, you know go to a place where we can discuss a book in great detail and analyze meanings in the book. I wanted to hangout on a monthly basis with other readers who enjoyed the word as much as I did.
I called and bugged my local librarian with questions (thank God she happened to a childhood friend as well, so she is used to my ways haha). So, when I picked up DS from school today, I swung by the library to get the book that we, bookclubbers, are reading and discussing Nov. 12. The book I will be getting into is called: On Tall Pine Lake by Dorothy Garlock. I have never read this book before and I will begin to indulge in tonight.
Oh yeah, DS (who is 5) informs since I will be getting a book at the library, he is going to get several of them--which he did. Do you think he may be following my footsteps?

I love, love, love to read! My boys read a lot when they were little and then slacked off as teenagers. You can imagine the pride I felt when I saw my 20 year old reading a real book and telling me how great it was! Maybe they will follow in our footsteps after all.
Good for you for joining the book club!

Thanks for the encouraging words. It is awesome to see that your 20 year old picked up reading again. I hear that you go in stages with children (haha).
