I am a bookaholic. I enjoy reading and have since I was very young. I could read at an advanced reading level at age 4. Yes, I started that early! I had special assignments in school above my grade levels because of it and I could check out any books I wanted no matter what grade level they were intended for at the time.
My childhood consisted of weekly trips to the public library, and I would check out as many books as I could. I also climbed trees and would sit their for hours reading my books!
I still love books and reading. It goes without saying that I have a thing for bookstores, too! Any time I go out of town for a business or personal trip, I look for a local bookstore to visit.
This past weekend I went to one of my favorite bookstores in Asheville. I like this bookstore (Mr. K’s) a lot because it has an excellent Poetry section - even better than the ones at the “big box” stores. I found plenty of other books I wanted to read too - short stories, sci fi, fiction, new thrillers, etc.
To do anything well it helps to practice - I know I see an improvement in my guitar and ukulele playing from this. That’s what makes reading so important for writers. I see many authors I follow on Insta posting about books they are reading as well.
Do you read? What books are you reading?
Here’s my weekend book haul:
