I read every day!
But I don’t necessarily read fiction every day. What about you – how often do you read?
I try to read my Bible every day—I use A Woman’s Guide to Reading the Bible in a Year by Diane Stortz as my guide. I like this plan because it alternates those hard-to-get-through Old Testament books with the New Testament or Psalms. Over the last three years I’ve read the New International Version, the New King James Version, and the Holman Standard Christian Bible. This year I’m back on the NIV.
I read blog posts every week day. I follow over 100 blogs through Feedly, and read maybe 10-20 posts a day, and share the ones I like most on Twitter and Facebook.
And I read fiction in the evening, especially if there’s nothing on television (that covers most evenings). I also try and read in the weekends—the promise of a good book gives me an incentive to get through those household chores faster! I can easily read two books in a weekend in the winter, when it’s cold and wet, and there’s no reason to go outside. Summer … not so much.
Wow, no wonder you write so many reviews, Iola. I’m in awe of you. I read every day too. Always read something from the Bible and usually have a novel on the go. I like to intersperse it with writing magazines too. I also have a few nonfiction books on the go where I can just read a chapter now and again. I try to read blogs, but not nearly as many as you. Well done! And I’ve been reading more children’s books since I started volunteering with the Pyjama Foundation (a group that helps foster children with reading and other learning activities). It’s been a great excuse to read books like ‘The Big Fat Cow that Went Kapow!’
