This little saying always comes to me when I think of books/library's/reading. When I was in elementary school (Zeiger, go explorers!!), we would take weekly trips to the library, and we would sometimes get free bookmarks from the librarians. My favorite bookmark I ever got was one that had an otter swimming on it, and it said "You Otter Be Reading!"
So I guess I will thank my elementary librarians for my life long love of reading. Just a few weeks ago, I was reading Nicholas Spark's book "Three Weeks with My Brother."The book is a memoir of Spark's life and focuses mainly on his close relationship with his older brother, Micah. In it, Sparks also talks about how his goal every year is to read 100 books. WOW. That's at least two novels a week. So I decided that I would be inspired by his goal, and set myself a goal of reading 50 books this year. Since July, I have read 13 books. I am going to continue to keep track of the books through my blog where I will do a "book review"once I finish reading them.
So, I have a lot of work to do to get caught up. I am excited about this and so thankful I have the time to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies!
