I can't put it down......

I love to read.

I really do.

What is it about a good book ?

And then when you read lots of good books, in a row !

It just doesn't get any better than that.

I never really want to finish a good book.

I start to slow down near the end,

afraid that when I finish,

I won't find another book as good as the one I'm reading.

Some books I read,

sit all day

and if I only get a chance to read a few chapters each night,

before bed,

that's enough.

~BUT~

every now and then,

I find a book I just can't put down.

I go everywhere with it.

I dog ear the pages that have paragraphs so deep,

that I re-read them a few times

in order to really feel what I'm reading.

Sometimes then I even close my eyes,

so I can better picture the characters that are living in my head.

Then I want to read those paragraphs OUT LOUD,

to the world,

just to see their reaction.

I said to my sweet hubby yesterday that I was going to waste the day away,

because all I wanted to do was read my book.

He turned his head and said,

"oh Buff, reading is never a waste of time, silly !"

Gosh I love that man !!!!

{I'm reading Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult~this is the one I can't put down and I just finished Family Tree by Barbara Delinsky}

~both of these books have "law" related issues and I swear that in a previous life, somewhere, somehow, I spent time in a court room. Or maybe it's just from my time spent as a CASA a few years ago and the hours I spent supporting juveniles in front of a judge......but whatever it is, I love law when it's at a level that I can understand~
