I have always been a good reader (per my first grade teacher). Once I learned how to read I couldn’t stop. The world opened up to me in a surprising way! I knew that I would never been able to live without having books in my life forever.
As I aged this did not change. When my children came along, I made sure to take them to the library once a week to choose at least three books to read for the week. Each week after that we wouldd pick up more and keep swapping. I also chose three to four or more books to read. This was my way as showing my children how much I loved to read, how important it is, and that ebooks are special!
I don’t know if they are reading as much now as adults with children of their own. But, I certainly hope they still love to read when they can. I made sure that all my five grandchildren have plenty of my books to keep them occuppied ever since they were babies.
Yes, books are special in so many wonderful ways!
- They open up one’s mind to new ideas.
- They teach us about so many wonderful new things.
- They spark our creativity.
- They brighten our lives with hope.
- They help us to forget our troubles.
- They keep us from being lonely.
- They keep our minds sharp.
- They help us feel better about ourselves when we read positive books.
- They open doors to things we never imagined.
- They help promote good health and a positive outlook.
How are books special to you? Do you love to read?
I carry my iPad around with me where I have many books on my TBR. This is from room to room in case I find time to read. Haha! I have a kindle which I store all my books and read from it as much as I can each day. I love it – the new Colorsoft model. It’s wonderful with color covers that are easily to see and read. I bought my husband one too. My former kindle was acting up. I guess I taxed it too much with the weight of thousand or more books.
From my love of reading spawned my love or writing! I try to write in some form every day. Soon I will have another book to add to my growing pile of books – 50 at present. I will soon run out of room on my shelf for what I hope to continue to do in the future, God willing!
If you would love to purchase one of my books, I have some on the shelves for you. Prices are the same as on Amazon except I will autograph them and include a bookmark created by my husband, John. There will be a S&H fee too. Contact me if you are interested in any at jjspina@comcast.net and put into Subject Line – Book Order.

Learning to read is still one of the biggest moments of joy in my life I can remember!! It never gets old.
I have always been a big reader as well. I read to my kids every night before bed, even though I was very busy. They still remember it fondly.
I’ve been an intense reader since I was very little (age 4). The most joyful days were when my children started to read – what a milestone and accomplishment. My grandson is 5 and reading books that an adult might read, courtesy of his Mom, whom I read to every night at bedtime. She was reading the Ring Trilogy at 8.
