My kryptonite

Sometimes I only get the chance to blog once a week. And since I can't always get up the motivation to think of a topic, it's nice to have other friends to blog with so we can take turns. I enjoy being challenged to write about stuff that might not normally come to mind and also reading everyone else's thoughts on the same topic. Blog Project 3.0 has been going on for about a year now, even though one of the group members changed after a few months. I love blogging with this group and I hope we can continue to inspire each other.

This week Froggie chose the topic: Unimaginable

First, read what everyone else had to share on this topic:
Darwin Shrugged
Froggie
Moma Rock

Chick Lit Central is currently hosting a giveaway of Dina Silver's latest novel, The Unimaginable. For a bonus question, I asked our readers what is unimaginable to them. One of them said "Life without books would be unimaginable." While I originally had something else in mind to write about, it was a heavier topic and I had trouble tackling it without somehow offending someone. However, this reader hit the nail on the head and I couldn't agree with her more! Take away books from the world and you have tortured me for life. Oddly enough, my son once said that if I ever get in trouble, a good punishment is to have someone take away all my books. (I'm sure the same could apply to him because he also loves to read!)

Anyway, I've talked about my love for books many times. They have been my salvation when I was growing up and dealing with bullies or not having many friends to hang out with. They've also been the reason I've met some of the friends with whom I'm currently close. I can't go a day without having a book to read! And I definitely can't imagine ever not having books in my life. That would be like taking away spinach from Popeye!

Thanks to a meme I found on Facebook recently, I was directed to Bookfessions. There I found some "bookfessions" that really spoke to me. I'm sharing a few of them here so you can truly see why books are so essential to my life.



* 794. People who hate to read scare me. Books have kept me alive.
* 1033. Books are essential to life.
* 1024. Reading has been constant in my life ever since I fell in love with it.
* 997. I actually can't remember a time when I could not read.
* 948. I own so many books that I ended up starting my own library system. (This actually does apply to me and a friend even gave me an embossing stamp for them!)
* 838. I never want to stop reading. I just want to linger on my adventures for as long as I can.
* 828. Being in a bookstore, surrounded by tons of books I want to read, is one of the best feelings I can have.

Having said all this, I want to do a book giveaway. It won't be as big as the giveaways at Chick Lit Central, but maybe it will give a book lover like me something for their collection or will inspire someone to read more often. Whatever the case may be, someone's going to win a book and I hope they'll enjoy it!
