Time to read

I wish I had time to read more. I used to spend the whole summer reading when I was younger. Now I'm lucky if I can sit down long enough to read the funnies in the Sunday paper. Eek!
When I do get a chance to read it is usually text books.
Now that I'm a mom, my reading time is limited. One would think that as your kids get older you would have time to read more. Not even close. It seems that every time I pick up a book or magazine my kids decide that at that moment they want to have a conversation with me. Doesn't matter that I just spent the last two hours watching them play with their friends. Don't get me wrong, I would drop a good book for my kiddo, just as soon as I finish the paragraph. :0)
When I was in High School my favorite author was Stephen King. I like the suspence and eeriness of most of his novels. My favorite series was the Drawing of the Three I read the first three then it took so long for the next one I never got back to finish. It was the novel Dolores Claiborne that made me look for other authors for nighttime or anytime reading for that matter.
My mom introduced me to the author Sidney Sheldon---Love, love, love his books... I started with Rage of Angels and continued till I read almost everyone of his novels. In fact, I have most of them on my book shelf now.
I look forward to the days when I can pick-up a good book again. When that day comes maybe I will find a new author to spark my desire to continue to the next chapter.
