Monday motivation - get reading!

Good evening Marte,

I'm with you! I love to read and always have a book going. Sometimes I read 15 minutes before going to sleep and always have to read before falling to sleep. I love the Dr. Seuss quote...always been a favorite of mine.

Hi Marte- when my nieces were younger I encouraged them to read. I said it would be nice if what they were reading was educational but the important thing was to read and make it a habit to read every day!  I always have a book or two on my Kindle app on my phone so no matter where I am I have something to read. And...I too love who-done-its. 

I have never been much of a reader, most books don't keep my attention for very long, probably because my attention span is very short, haha.

I've always read and continue to do so. And I'm a fan of the who-dunnits also!

Hi Marte... you don't need to twist my arm to read... I love to read. Always have a book with me. The biggest problem is finding more time to read.

I love to read BOOKS especially historical and historical fiction.

I tried the kindle and I couldn't stand reading that way.

Good morning Mate. The more you read and know the more you realize how much you do not know. The journey for knowledge should never end. Enjoy your day.

I love this post!   i love reading gentle English cottage mysteries - the ones with the body under the rose bush and the suggestion to call Poirot or Miss Marple - a "gentle" death of arsenic - the dr. did it or the postmistress - nothing violent (despite the murder!) 

Although I get news of all kinds on my phone throughout the day, I still like to read the New York Times in paper form every morning.  Ditto the Carmel Pine Cone, our FREE local paper. 

Love this post!  Simple, powerful message.  I love to read who done it posts, too!  Since I fly about every other month visiting my daughters, I save up a lot of industry reading for those flights.  No interruptions and if I finish before my return flight, I have a bonus book waiting in my bag.  Works very well at getting required reading completed. 

I too love to read. Reading makes you think and the more you think the better you become and the better you become the most you think.

Good advice, Marti! I read for relaxation and I have always enjoyed reading. Of course, reading blogs counts, too.

Very nice info, Marte. Now that you mention it, there were a few books I've read over the years that were very enjoyable! This was before the internet. I do have a few books on hand that I want to read. I'm going to make an effort to spend some time daily, knocking them out.

Thanks!!

I love reading and learning! I think that is why AR is such a great fit for me. I get to meet new people and read great content.

Marte, great advice! My father taught all of his six children to read when we were three-year-olds. That’s what I call good parenting. Now I’m in a terrific book group that’s helping me enjoy all kinds of stuff - in addition to the romance novels set in Paris

I agree - I'm always reading something. Recently, I've been listening to audiobooks so I can get through twice as much!

My kids often ask me, "How did you know that?"  My answer is always, "I read it in a book."
