Reading is a passion of mine.
Always has been, as long as I can remember.
As a teenager I remember going to this used book store in Winter Haven called Book Traders over on Central Avenue. I would get used teeny bopper magazines and lots of books to read for about a quarter a piece.
I remember one of the first was "Children In The Attic". Gosh, for the life of me I can't remember the author's name.
I would read an entire book in a day.
It's been a very long time since I've done that.
But I did it today. Catherine Coulter's Hemlock Bay. It was very good. I read it in about 6 hours give or take a little bit. I of course had to take time to play with Griffin, ride the golf cart around Grandma's house with him and eat lunch.
Reading ... one of life's most precious gifts.

Reading is such a joy. V.C. Andrews wrote Flowers in the Attic - not sure if that is the same one you are talking about. I grew up watching my Mom read and became an avid reader in jr. high. I snuck a lot of her books and read them in high school. Having 2 little ones really limited my reading, especially with having to read children's books for my job. At the end of 2008, I read the Twilight series - everyone at work had read it! I found the joy of reading again and haven't stopped. I have managed to make time to read and even joined goodreads.com to keep track of what I have read. A friend at work and I have had our own little book club. I have read several books I wouldn't normally have read. Enjoy your reading - it is a wonderful escape and good for the brain too!
I just love reading. I can't read a book in a day, but I try. Give me a good murder/mystery and I'm good to go.
