All Things Books
“I read my eyes out and can’t read half enough. The more one reads the more one sees we have to read.” – John Adams
All Things Books. Fiction and Nonfiction. Short Stories and Long Stories. Words on the page. Words on the screen. I read them all. I’ve been reading since, well, probably since I could talk! Happy memories of childhood hiding under the blanket at bedtime reading with a flashlight have turned into happy memories as an adult hiding under the blanket with my Kindle (don’t want to disturb the sleeping Husband.) There’s always another ten books to add to the never-ending to-read pile and always need to do better with finding more time to read.
