Inspired

So I have a family member who is a teacher. An elementary school teacher at that. And she hates reading. I was flabbergasted at this proclamation. How can you be a teacher and not like to read. I've always secretly held it against them. How can you inspire a generation of readers and increase literacy in our world if you yourself don't enjoy the task. Its like expecting a couch potato to produce a star athlete for a child.

Then, unexpectedly, I received a phone call from this family member. They wanted to know if I had a couple of books because they needed them for their book club. PARDON?! You're in a book club!? Yes, and they love it! HAZZAH!!!!! I was so impressed. I have yet to ask what inspired the decision to take up a book club and I plan on asking soon. However, they are reading and they are loving it. Just goes to show you that it is never too late to take up a new hobby, increase your literacy levels or to simply fall in love with books.

But all of this led me to feel a little hypocritical. I, lover of all books, who has bought many books since moving back to Regina, hadn't read a full book since....well, the last time I really posted on this blog actually-so January. So, for me, it feels like forever. So I got rid of our extended cable package. Decided I no longer needed to nap every time QT does. And tada! My house is cleaner and I've read several books in the last couple of weeks! yay me!

So thank you dear family member for showing me its never to late and there is always time to read! And that means I have four reviews, and growing, of books to post! :)
