Numbers Update

So my goal is 75 books by the end of the year.

I am now at 52!!!

I really didn't think I was going to make it. Checking books out from the library has really helped my numbers though.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the library. I remember as a kid spending lots of time at the library during the summer months. I was always winning those reading contests they would hold! I would check out 8-10 books at a time and return a week later having read them all and filling my arms with more. It was a long walk from home, but my siblings and I really enjoyed going. When I was in my early teen years, I would check out poetry books and type up all my favorite poems on my Mom's typewriter (yes, an actual typewriter, not a computer!) I think I still have my file in one of my boxes in storage.

Anyway, I love the library. I love reading. I love that my kids love to read!

See ya later!
