I enjoy writing too and it's been nice to have an small outlet for that in writing about books.

Then came the tme I tried to keep my second grade teacher's copy of Charlotte's Web for what seemed like forever to her. I begged her to let me show her how much I loved that book. I then proceeded to recite verbatim the first two chapters....she gave me the book!! Blogging means being able to share the joys and the pits of reading with others who get you! My husband doesn't get the "reading Staci." He doesn't understand why I might pine for a book to be released and then wait over a year to read it simply because I couldn't stand the thought of my favorite characters' stories being done. But I could tell that same story to my book friends and they would probably have a similar story of their own!!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-73155516460457839882012-09-12T16:25:58.356-07:002012-09-12T16:25:58.356-07:00What a wonderful post!
