This weeks question come from Elena who blogs at Books and Reviews!
When did you realize reading was your passion and a truly important part of your life?
My Answer: This is such a difficult question. I know that as a young child I was always reading, but I remember hating required reading in school. I always felt like they picked the most boring books possible and then made you read them really quickly. For a while, I know that turned me off from reading, so once I was no longer required to read, I didn't. I remember a summer about 5 years ago when a friend lent me a book by Sophie Kinsella and told me how cute it was and that I had to read it. I thought about it for a while, but finally gave it a shot, and I ended up finishing the book within an hour and had the whole series completed that weekend. I guess that is when my extreme obsession with reading started, although like I said, I was an avid reader as a child, before required reading.
What about you?
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you are having a great week! A very warm welcome to my new followers, and a huge thanks to my old followers for sticking around!
Happy Reading!

I always read the books in school really fast so I could go back to the ones i really wanted to read!
The exact same thing happened to me! I loved reading but hated most of the books we had to read in school. Which ultimately made me stop reading for a while!

When did I first realize I loved reading? I wish I could prove a pre-natal predilection towards books but my memories don’t stretch back quite that far.
The earliest memories I can recall involved books. First having them read to me then reading them on my own the minute I had the ability.
Books have been a major part of my life ever since. My passion for the written word knowing no bounds, I started writing books on top of reading them about ten years ago.

I never stopped reading but life interferes with my reading from time to time.
Stopping by from the Book Blogger Hop. I'm a new follower. Have a great weekend!

I hated a lot of assigned reading in school but I learned that I often liked other books by the assigned authors.
I realized how important books had become in my life in 1999. Come see what happened.
