  1. I LOVE to read, but unfortunately don’t have much time for it! Instead, I listen to audio books during my commute to and from school! 🙂

  2. I love to read!! Usually, it’s help books, but sometimes fiction. Biography’s are one of my favorites too. I just wish I wasn’t so tired after work. Then I would love to read. I do try very hard to read my devotions everyday. Summer time is a great time to catch up on all of my reading. 🙂

  3. I LOVE to Read. I also love sharing my love to read with my students. I share with them books that I am reading. I think it shows having the ability to read will last the rest of your life. We we do Drop Everything and Read. I take a book I am reading and read as well.

  4. One of my best friends says she takes a flood book with her everywhere. I love to read and my grown children and best friends and I have an uncalled, informal book club. We exchange books, and share authors. I have learned long ago to take a book any time I go anywhere with my husband. Short trips turn long with the mention of a deer or hunting experience. I just finished reading Water For The Elephants. It was great…can’t wait for the movie.

  5. I LOVE TO READ. I do all I can to help my students learn the love of books too. Reading is a gift that creates life long learners.

    I am often to tired to absorb after work so I read my resource books and non fiction at lunch or early in the am.

    My fiction I read in the evening and before bed. I always carry a book with me too.

  6. I love to read,both grown-up books and children’s lit. Years ago, as a nanny, I used the library and other resources to get books of all stripes to read to my little friend. When our time together was coming to a close her mother gave a note thanking me for fostering in her daughter a love of reading… and that is the best compliment any caregiver can receive.

  7. I always have a book handy. It sure made the days of no school because of snow go faster. I am on the last book in the Steig Larrson trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. Such imagination.

  8. Lately I’ve been re-reading books from college: Russian novels, assigned sociology non-fiction, etc. I also enjoy reading medical thrillers.

    Reading is very relaxing. I plan on taking 2-3 books with me on my spring break travels next week.

  9. I absolutely LOVE to read. I have a Kindle app on my iPhone and I read whenever I have to wait for an appointment. I also always have one or two books in progess on my Kindle at home. I feel lost without a book.

  10. LOVE to read! Faves are Janet Evanovich, Jan Karon, & especially Maeve Binchy (from Ireland)…love her books…superb writer! After busy days I love to read to escape!

  11. I have been a bookworm since I was a kid. I typically read every night before bed, and during the day when time allows. I love reading memoirs, fiction, and self-improvement or other educational books.

  12. Yes, yes, yes! I’m ALWAYS reading something. I frequently borrow books from the public library or buy from the local used bookstore in order to save money. Like Julie, I read both books for adults and children’s literature. There are so many recently published well-written books available for kids, and I like to keep up on them both for my own enjoyability and interest as well as to keep in mind in case I become a reading specialist later on in my career.

  13. I LOVE to hear that y’all LOVE reading. I was hoping you did. Honestly, I was pretty sure you did! Like many of you, I read children books and adult books, mostly fiction. Though I love to read about other people, so biographies are becoming a favorite. And I’m a magazine reader! Paula, I’m nearing the end of Stieg Larsson’s trilogy too. Wow, what a ride it’s been!

  14. Reading is my all time favorite thing to do. I always have a book or two that I read. This is the one thing I have instilled in my own children and grandchildren. We talk about how important it is to read in the classroom. We can explore, go anywhere and be anything we want when we read.

  15. I not oly love to read…I find I have to read! If I don’t have something to read for a few days, I end up reading cereal boxes! No joke!! So, I keep several books around at all times. I like non-fiction, Nora Roberts, Jude Deveroux and mysteries. I love teacher resource books and I actually read cookbooks. I, too, am reading Stieg Larrson’s trilogoy.

  16. Yes, I love to read! I read as I watch TV with my hubby.
    Currently, I’m reading 4 books: a fiction piece about Anne Frank’s sister, a parenting book to give tips to my students’ parents, one on differentiated instruction, a devotional, and the past few years of Mailbox magazine for April/May!

  17. I, too, love to read and will do it instead of anything else. I like Jan Brett and Eric Carle among many others. For myself I like fiction and mysteries.
