AMEN! My kids loved reading until the 2nd or 3rd grade, when AR points were required. Harry Potter caused my oldest to be ‘rebitten’, and the Lightening Thief did the same for my daughter. However, the youngest prefers movies.

I do feel that way about several of my fave authors I have followed for years. Hey, I even got to chat with one of my long time faves thru email just because I sent her contact thru her site telling how much I enjoyed her over the years. She commented on my blog too. That was awesome. It was like being acknowledged by a movie star for me.

I can’t imagine not being a reader. I always have a book or my kindle with me and I’m glad my kids inherited the reading bug. Your dream to have writing be as revered as sports is an admirable one. Maybe…one day…!

In reply to Ed Hoornaert. My husband was a musician, and my girls both play in school band, and like alternative rock- so it's something, but not hard core rockers like him. ;)

It’s so cool that you can share your bookish dreams with your girls.`Sometimes, you know, apples do fall far from the tree. None of my four are readers, and none of them are musicians either. Too bad, because I’m both … but then, my dreams have been totally different than my parents, who probably just wanted to survive and make a better life after crossing the pond as war refugees.

That’s great that your girls love to read. It was touch and go for a while, but my son loves to read and I’m thankful for that. He did play football in high school, though.

In reply to Linda McLaughlin. Linda- the nice thing about reading is that you never outgrow it & your body doesn't betray you when you try new activities (Like I often accuse my back, lol). Thanks so much for visiting!
