My Passion For Reading

I’ve always love to read, either for school or for my reading pleasure.  As a child I would read and was swept away as the stories unfolded before my eyes.  Some stories I remembered almost detail by detail, others are a little more muddled.  I even enjoyed a handful of books I had to read for school.  As, I grew older, my pleasurable reading took a hiatus because I felt I had more important things to accomplish …;)

A few years ago, I decided to read again.  I searched for what felt like forever, to find a book I truly enjoyed.  Finally one day, I received an email from a friend about an author’s new book being released later that summer.  It sounded interesting and I requested it from the library (Note: At the time I refused to buy books, if I could check them out at the library for free;). Times have since changed, which is another story, for another day…).  The book was excellent and peeked my interest in another character whom I was introduced to while reading.  I waited a few months before I investigated the other character’s story; I was elated when I learned his story was apart of a series.  Once again, I found myself requesting books from the library and my reading frenzy began.  

I read the prologue and first chapter of the first book in the series and didn’t understand what the big hype was about.  I turned the page to chapter two and I was hooked, baby!!!  It took me a few days to finish book one, and I was chomping at the bits to get book two in my hands, which I read in one night.  Book three I read just as fast, by the time I made it to book four I was on a roll.  Book five had me on pins and needles as I read, so when I made to book six I was surprised the story centered on another character, which I met in book one and made appearances throughout the series.  The series is still going and so is my reading frenzy!!!

I told this story, to inform of my joys of reading and how I found myself passionately reading again.  I also love discussing what I read and writing book reviews.  This month I'll be posting a few book reviews.  My first book review on my blog will be on Fast Break by Regina Hart.  Please keep an eye out...
