I hate to feel as if I'm missing out on a reading opportunity.<br /><br />None of my immediate family are real readers. But I have an aunt and a niece who love books as much as I do, so maybe the book bug has zigzagged down my family tree. <br /><br />I'm just on to my 9yo this morning to get out a book. She loves once she starts reading but the TV always seems an easy alternative. And I guess there is a Buffyfest on this weekend... =)Robyn Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397395873217056254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-4801973167227113762011-04-19T18:40:27.251+10:002011-04-19T18:40:27.251+10:00Sue, I can't remember not being able to read.....Sue, I can't remember not being able to read... and the thought of a world without books is inconceivable to me. My mum has always been a big reader (of romance) but my dad doesn't read anything except the paper (and junk mail -- he's addicted to that :-) ). I guess it's a case of different strokes etc. But like you I can't help feeling that the non-readers out there are missing out.Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-15209867593123306482011-04-19T06:02:39.491+10:002011-04-19T06:02:39.491+10:00Sharon, I know what you mean about homes without b...Sharon, I know what you mean about homes without bookcases. The friends who coming up this week don't have one at all and I've got five. Then there are all the books in storage. Oh well, got to have some foibles I suppose.<br />So Mel, reading must be something that's in the blood. Each of your children approach it differently. <br />Have a great Easter, everyone.Sue MacKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475372981173809219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-25129556868362629432011-04-19T05:58:28.179+10:002011-04-19T05:58:28.179+10:00I have always loved reading and my siblings do as...I have always loved reading and my siblings do as well. My husband reads cookbooks and cooking magazines mainly. We don't have kids but have lots of nieces and nephews and they have quite a few kids. Some of them read and some of them don't. My mom was the only one who read romance as much as I do. I can't imagine not having books to read.kaeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935892189792730767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-85569791403742740012011-04-18T20:11:08.176+10:002011-04-18T20:11:08.176+10:00Sue I absolutely devoured books when I was younger...Sue I absolutely devoured books when I was younger, if it had an animal in it, i'd read it! My husband reads every night before bed - well I often find him with a book still in hand and sound asleep LOL. My eldest daughter finds reading a chore, my second eldest loves reading and collecting books for her groaning shelf. Think my youngest will love books too =)Mel Teshcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945507690555119380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-51549009792674094692011-04-18T17:10:40.260+10:002011-04-18T17:10:40.260+10:00Sue, I've always loved reading and it's pr...Sue, I've always loved reading and it's probably thanks to my parents who were both avid readers. I can't imagine not wanting to dive into a good book! But there are people out there who don't read which means they don't have shelves of books. Homes with no bookshelves don't seem quite right to me.<br /><br />Enjoy your talkfest at Easter!<br /><br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-2748954920405049592011-04-18T16:15:48.431+10:002011-04-18T16:15:48.431+10:00Sue

And I'd do odd jobs around the area to earn money for more books.

I remember being particularly fond of Beatrix Potter books - they had stories about animals and they were a good size for my hands.<br /><br />When I was a little older and on caravan holidays, my mother would take us into town and we could buy one book each. Oh, the excitement! We would also get books as birthday and Christmas presents so I was always destined to be a big reader. :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-29747986872139814182011-04-18T08:31:26.787+10:002011-04-18T08:31:26.787+10:00Helen, my husband doesn't read either.
