Great Things I've Read Lately ::52 Lists::

Do you have any special memories that you want to make sure are passed on to your children or grandchildren? ~Family History Tuesday~

*Books, reading and one-one-one trips to eat breakfast out with  my Dad.

*Plants, Library, Museum and annual trips to experience the blossoming of the Cherry Trees with my Mom.

*Au Bon Pain, Orangina, Tower Records, Commander Salamander, Vintage clothes while  hanging out with someone I looked up to in my older sister when were both attending College.

*Laughing my guts out, navigating the Singles scene, my travel buddy and having an instant friend in my younger sister.

*A smart guy, up for anything, a friend and  someone I can always count on in my little brother.

*And I cannot forget our annual summer trips to the beach where we could forget all our busyness as we played out on the sand, in the waves with seagulls flying overhead in the warmth of family.

Do you enjoy reading? How many books do you usually read in a year? Do you have a favorite genre and/ or series? ~Family History Tuesday~

You might as well ask me if I love breathing?
It's something that I do.

 It's something that just happens, naturally.

It is essential.

So reading is the same for me. 

My mother, unknowingly (I think), started our love for reading.

My father was a student at the University.

In order for him to have undisturbed studying time,

my mom gathered us 4 kids and

walked us down to the neighborhood Library.

Here we could stay occupied for hours

with kind librarians
and access to neverending books

with

their magnificent illustrations and tales.

Today if you ask any one of the four of us,

"Where is your favorite place?", I think "Library" will be the answer

 (probably after home).

Some of my favorite books are:

and I wrote about one of my all-time favorite books here.

I love to read biographies the most.

I'll browse through the non-fiction

 and always find something I'm interested in.

I'll read fiction here and there,

mainly if someone recommends a good one to me.

Right now I'm reading Girl in Translation.

I though it was a biography at first,

but then realized even though it isn't,

the author lived a life very similar to the main character.

and

I really don't know

how many books

I read in a year.

I pretty much read and read to know stuff

whether it be in a newspaper, magazine,

blog, website, etc. etc.



FYI:  One of us has a Master of Library Science degree; two of us have a career working in Libraries. The other two have worked in Libraries for a number of years.
