EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES
What are your excuses when it comes to not regularly reading for pleasure? Mine are below (I had to condense, but I could go on and on and on.)
~I'm too busy! I have a full-time job, homework, and housework, when am I supposed to sleep?
~I can't find any books that look interesting to me!
~I am already reading too many books for school!
~I get sleepy after reading one page! It is hard for me to remember where I left off in the book!
~Reading hurts my eyes!
~Why read when they are just going to make a movie anyway? It’s boring!
~I would rather spend time with my husband, although we’ll be watching TV anyway.
With that being said, why should I read at all? I want to talk about that along with things that I do to triumph over my excuses. I am not going to even attempt to lie and say that reading wins every time or even half the time. I do make every effort to continue reading since it provides me an outlet from the hustle and bustle of my life.
Feel free to check out my Goodreads.com site that I use to keep track of what I read, what I want to read, and books that I am currently reading! I love this website just as I love facebook. You can do a lot of similar things like add friends, comment on their pages, and keep track of your (reading) life.
I hope to make this blog fun for the readers or “wanna be” reader. My goal is going to be providing tips and tricks to promote reading but also not to bore you to death.
Hope you will follow me along this journey!
