• I love to read.  Whenever people ask me what I do for fun I say, "I read."  And that's all.  :)  Well, not quite, maybe... or probably actually yes, that is mostly all.  I like to read, a lot, all the time.  I love libraries and book stores, and I love taking my little boys to the library so that they can start to love reading, too.  The only problem at these libraries and book stores is deciding what to read - there are so many options!  So because I find it helpful when other people recommend good books to me, I thought I'd list some here that I have enjoyed.  Of course, you might not like some of the ones I like, or most of them, or all of them, and that's ok too.  But just in case you might, here you go:
