How about another Avid Reader...

My friend Holly told me that Squigglefly had an older image about reading, and this one is named: Avid Reader. I love it!

This was me a long time ago. My mother, Bless Her, signed me up to a book club when I was very young, and the day the book would arrive, you'd find me just like this until the whole thing was done!

Then I'd be angry because it was over, and I would have to WAIT for the next one to arrive! The first series that I really remember a lot about was called The Happy Holisters. Of course there were many other books, but this was a series about kids like me! Well, not like me in that they had adventures and traveled and had plenty of brothers and sisters (I was a stay-at-home girl with two brothers). But I always had fun imaging that I was part of those adventures.

My boys were into Comic Books, in fact they collected them for years - which I thought was a waste, but my only condition was that they had to read the ones that they purchased. And they did! I think they still have over 800 in backer boards and plastic. I always think this is part of the reason my boys chose their career paths (both have degrees in English and Creative Writing)
