How much I love a good book!

May 13, 2009 9:25am CST
I love to sit and read although I don't get much time for it nowadays - however recently after winning a little bit of money i decided to treat myself to a load of new books - I purchased altogether about 20 books with the majority being ones from my favourite authors that I just hadn't gotten around to getting before because I had no money! It gave me such a thrill to be able to buy all these books and now I can look forward to weeks of reading them - do you love reading and it that one of your pleasures in life?

Yup, I would do that too. I love books - reading and collecting those of my favorite genres and authors. And the pleasure of browsing through bookstores, with the money to buy whatever books I want. Now I usually get my books from used bookstores - at least they are not so expensive as new ones.

I don't mind used books at alll as long as they are in good condition as I tend to be really fussy about the book not being creased etc! lol

I read all the time or maybe I should say I read as much as the children will let me. When I pick up a book to read I have trouble putting it down, I have to read it til the end LOL

I know exactly what you mean. There's nothng I love more than curling up in a corner and reading a book. Sometimes when I get so caught up with the story I go on for hours when I have the time that is. There was this one time I just got home from work made a cup of coffee and read until noon. ( I work on a graveyard shift.) So anyways my mom scolded me cause I still wasn't getting any sleep when I still had to go to work that night lolz xD How bout you any interesting books you'd like to share?

I've done the same where I sat down with a hot drink and a chocolate bar and not got back up for hours without realsing how long I was sat there! I do like the Jenny Colgan books as her writing style is so easy to get into but, mainly like all chick lit type books
