New Home for the Books

We finally got some bookshelves so we can display our growing collection! Not too many books yet but we are working on it.



I am so proud of myself that I have actually read the majority of the books on there. Others are on my waiting list.

I used to hate reading while growing up! I always found it so boring. That all changed with Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling had the ability to transport me into another world. Made me feel like I was truly there. Opened my eyes to what I had been missing out on all these years. I read Harry Potter for the first time in Middle School. I read book one and I stopped there. It wasn't until about 2 years ago (age 23) that I decided I needed to read more and decided to continue the Harry Potter adventure that I had started long ago. I remember starting out by saying, "one chapter per night". Pfft...yeah right...I would hop into bed at about 8-9pm and I would stay up until 3-4am because I wanted to know more and more of what happen. The reading bug had caught me :)

Since then I want to read everything! I mostly read fantasy/fictional stories because they stimulate my creativity. However, if I find something interesting and I can learn from it then I will read it. I realize now as an adult how important it is to start reading at an early age. I will touch more on this in a separate post to talk about how reading impacts your professional career. 

Anyway, don't mean to bore you with this post. I will post a picture of the living room later on when I pick up the mess we made from making the bookshelves. It looks a lot bigger now since we moved stuff around which is great.

XOXO,

Lina
