Blog-Tember Day 4: Passions
Prompt: What are you passionate about?
This is a hard question. I like a lot of things, but what am I truly passionate about. hmmm...
Reading and books -- I'm always reading. I'm always looking out for the next great book. I'm always telling people what I've been reading. I love to read other people's thoughts about books. I could talk books all day long. Book clubs (the two that I am in) are the highlights of my month. I love to sit around, catch up with friends, and hear their thoughts on the selection. While I love to choose our next book, I also like the surprise of what others choose. Will it be good? Will I give up on it halfway through? It's such a mystery! But such fun! If I had enough money and room, I'd have an entire room dedicated only to books. As it stands, I have a few bookshelves in our bedroom. They work but I want that dream library complete with reading nook that I always see on Pinterest. I make sure to share my love of reading with my children. The twins didn't seem interested in reading as young kids (are you actually my children?). But now that they've hit the preteen years, they both request books for Christmas and birthdays. Plus they love popping into the local book store to see what's available. I am so proud! The 2-year-old isn't reading independently, but we make sure to hit the library at least once a week for some great picture books. I'm hoping that he will grow into a great reader. For now I'll just keep sharing my love of reading and reading to him. I'd say I am pretty passionate about reading. I realize that I will never have enough time in my life to read all the books, but I'm still going to try.
