Books To Read

So I thought I would try and venture into the world of books again.  It has always been so difficult for me to sit still long enough to read a book.  My Mom has always been an avid reader, but for some reason, I just never developed a love for reading or I didn’t read enough as a child.  I am  hoping that my boys love to read, since we read to them daily.

The best books are the ones that move fast from the beginning.  If it is a good book, it grabs my attention from the first page and then I cannot put it down.  This is hard to do when you are a mom to twins, so this hampers my ability to read when I am in the mood.  Reading at night is my best option, if I can keep from drooling on my pillow!

So I finally picked up a book called Twilight.  There are many people raving on and on about this series of books that were actually intended for the teenage audience, but adults are reading them too.  I have never been much of a vampire fan, but a good romance is always a plus.  Come to think of it, the last time I read a romance was back in high school when I secretly read Harlequin romance novels.  Are those even still around?

Oh, and I remember the Judy Blume books. Who can forget Blubber and Are You There God It’s Me Margaret?  At the time there was so much conflict about kids reading these books, I thought they were the best.  I suppose, I did read a little.  I love the thrillers, and some romance, but I have yet to get into some of the more novel like reading.  Are there any good ones that you suggest?  I would love to know because I am now determined to jump into books.  Since I don’t get out much, it would be fun to escape into books, especially with the Winter months approaching.
