Can you imagine going through a pandemic without reading books? It’s hard for me to even go there.
Reading is a huge part of my everyday life. As I write my novels, I am also reading them. The editing process is reading the story over and over again and making the changes that will make it the best story I possibly can.
When I am not writing, I also read other books–fiction and nonfiction–and articles. I always read before bed, as well. And I read for all of the reasons shown in this cartoon. Not so much the last panel until more recently.
Books are constant companions. As constant as my four-legged family. They are something I count on every day. Touchstones that remind me who I am, and what I am exploring. Every book I read is like a diary entry. They document my journey as an inquisitive, creative person.
What about you? Why do you read? What is your favorite type of book? Feel free to share your thoughts on reading.
Stay safe. Be kind.
Love,
Susan

I cannot imagine life without books. I read while I am eating and I cannot go to sleep unless I read for awhile. I like all kinds of books and I love Dean Koontz’s books. I also like Ben Bova’s books as his is “believable” science fiction. I like auto biographies also as it is nice to learn about people. I “stumbled” onto your books by accident and I loved it, so decided to read them all. I have all of your books and have re-read them several times. I also really like Tom Clancy and my favorite of his is “Rainbow Six”. I am always looking for new authors and that is why I love and miss the library sales.
Hi Wanda. I am honored to be a part of your expansive reading list, and I’m so glad you stumbled upon me by accident. Keep reading! 🙂
