Today's Question:Who in your family (both immediate & extended) are readers, and who are not?
My Answer:
There aren't many family members, both immediate and extended, that read. Matter of fact, I can only think of 3 people. My cousin Jennifer, my Godmother Liz, and my son's gf Jessica. That's it. And unfortunately they all live out of state. So many times, I would read a book I thought was worth discussing, but nobody around me were interested. That is why when I stumbled upon a book blog, then started clicking their blog roll, I couldn't believe that all these people share their thoughts on books. I finally found someone, I should say, many, many friends that were interested. Over the years, I have tried so hard to encourage my immediate family (hubby and 2 sons) to read, but never could. But last summer, I have to say, hubby heard a book being discussed on a cable news show and ordered it. So I started a quality time, reading by the pool book club. I got him to at least open the book and read the first 2 chapters. lol Will try again this summer.

I like your thoughts on todays musings, no one that is close to me likes the genre that I read, so it was great when I started a book blog, because now there are so many that I share that interest with.
I love your blog, and its perfect for this Award Hope you enjoy it!!!
Happy Reading
I find it fun to read alot of the book readers blogs. It helps me to decide if I really want a book or not.
I too, like the Reading Blogs. It helps me decide it I may want a book or not. I like your idea of a short book review. I will be back later and check them out.
I never thought of that but maybe is why a lot of bloggers first started. Interesting! lol
My husband has a job that requires some waiting time and I encourage him to pick up a book. He'd rather take his iPod. I should download a book on it and see if he likes to listen.
I feel your pain, Cheryl! I live with all non-readers as well.....
