Thankful Day 2

Yes, it's 1AM, so technically it is Saturday and I blew it on day two. Guess I'm not perfect (shhh - don't tell anyone, you might blow my cover).

So I had my day 2 post all written up and just needed to add pictures, but then I changed my mind.  So now that one is day 3.  For day 2, I'm thankful for Books.  All kinds of books.

I have always been an avid reader.  As a child/teenager, some of my favorite memories are sitting in the chair in the living room curled up with a book reading.  When we made my dad a cheesy home video for a birthday present, that was one of my hobbies that we listed.  As an English Lit Major, I spend TONS of time in college reading.  I mean like - 1000+PAGES a week were required for my classes.  Now don't get me wrong, I read fast.  Very fast (but I do NOT skim).  But even for someone reads fast, that is a lot.  So once I finished up school, I took a break from reading.  And I got out of the habit, for a while.  I read a book here or there, but I no longer had the constant thirst for reading.  

But last spring that changed again...suddenly I was ready to pick up books again and I LOVE it.  I love that when reading you can totally transport yourself to another place.  You have the ability to see new perspectives and experience things you never would otherwise.  {I just realized that I managed to read almost 1000 pages this week. No wonder I'm tired - guess I can't blame it all on Max}

So for day 2, I'm thankful for Books.  I'm thankful that I have access to so many books, and that I have the time and opportunity to read them.  

PS - if you have any good suggestions let me know - I'm always looking for new books to read!
