When I became pregnant at the age of 27 I didn't want anything to do with books. I could not stand them . The entire year I think I did not read books but surprisingly I enjoyed magazines instead. Now we all know the difference between our books and magazines, it's pictures. Why on earth did I enjoy seeing pictures of jackets and trendy jeans? Three years later I found my answer ,I was pregnant with a book worm.

For me it is often a matter of how busy I am. If I was retired with not much to do I think I could read all the time, but with a busy life I find that I go in spurts like you. Some times it will take me a month to finish a book, because I just can't get the time, but other times I will read through a book in 2 or 3 days. So I guess I don't get bored of reading, just consumed with everything.

I couldn’t agree more. The habit of reading is fantastic, but sometimes it can be challenging to put into practice.

Hi!

I love to read! At times in the past, I could not read my book because of outside commitments, and I was upset about it. Especially if I were reading a very good part of the book, or if it is a good book, you cannot put down! I made a plan to get back to reading my book. In school, I was called a "bookworm." Anyway, even today sometimes I cannot read as I would like because of my schedule, but I am so glad they invented audiobooks! I can read on the go!
