Book List

I have thought a few times about adding a reading list to my sidebar.  Then I thought about the fact that I am not an avid reader.  Instead, I read in spurts.  Sometimes, most times, books sit on my shelf for many months until I get to them.  I can read and at times I like to read.  In fact, on a trip down to Galveston and back a few weekends ago I read an entire book and still managed to carry on very lengthy conversations with Jeremy.  It is just not all of the time like Joshua or my sister that I choose to spend with a book, or Nook, or whatever your choice may be.  With all that said, I guess I thought I would feel silly if my reading list stayed the same for a while, and I mean for a loooong while.

Lately though I have been reading a new blog of an old friend.  I admire how she is being so open and honest with her writing.  I have thought about writing like that and you know what, every time I sit to write like that I end up erasing what I want to say.  I guess in a way, I find it rather easy to escape behind my kids.  It makes the world less complicated.  People get to see the "Momma" me and don't have to know the "me" me.  It's just easier.  Maybe one day I can shed my skin and just go for it.  This is one step.  Right?!

Then today a friend messaged me on Facbook.  I didn't know she knew about our blog but she said she really liked it.  We have shared a couple of books and she suggested I add a reading list.  So, I am taking her suggestion.   I have added a reading list and, well, if it stays the same for a while that's just how it is going to be!  I hope you might be able to find some new books to read and if you have any great ones that you have read then please let me know.  Maybe, just maybe, I too will become an avid reader!

To the two ladies that I spoke of...I hope you know who you are from reading this and I thank you both and love each of you dearly!!

Now, go check out the sidebar!!!
