It's Time to Read!

One of my greatest passions is reading. I started reading well fairly early as I remember... by nine, I was reading 'adult' novels, such as 'Hound of the Baskervilles' by Arthur Conan Doyle, 'The Fall of the House of Usher' and many other other such classics. At fifteen, I took on a daunting task for someone of that age by reading Margaret Mitchell's masterpiece, 'Gone with the Wind'. It took me a week to finish at that time; nowadays, I can do it in three.

Yes, I am a rapid, or should I say a rabid reader! I dont just read books, I devour them. I am so devoted to reading that if I don't have anything else at hand, I have been known to read phone books to get my fix! I freely admit that I am a word junkie and I firmly believe that there is no such thing as too many books.

Imagine my great delight in finding the free Kindle app for the PC on Amazon.com, and the massive number of books one could acquire for it for free. I think I lost consciousness for about a month while I snagged all the free books I could get my hands on! My Kindle reader now has 1,281 books on it, and there are 1,592 books on my Kindle book wish list there. Believe me, I am overjoyed!

Sometimes, however, I have the need to have an old fashioned hardcover or paperback book in my hands, and Goodreads is a favorite of mine. Not only can I share all the books I have read with others, make lists of books that I am currently reading, or want to read in the future, but the site features numerous book giveaways which I am always eager to take advantage of. I have won several books for them, some even autographed by the authors. This is totally AWESOME!

If any of my visitors are readers of any speed, and have not discovered Goodreads yet, I encourage you to go by the site and check it out. I am sure that you will find it as exciting as I do.

Check it out at Goodreads!

DISCLAIMER

Because I belong to so many groups that share tubes, brushes, shapes, tutorials, scripts and so forth, at times I find that I have used an item that I either have not been able to give a credit for, or that the artist or author of the item does not wish to be use in the manner it has been used. I make every effort to abide by the creator of an item's wishes, so if you are the artist or the author of something you see here at Blue Nile Scrap Designs, and there is no credit but you want one, if you would be so kind as to email me and let me know, I will be more than happy to add your credit to the item.

On the other hand, if you are the artist or the author of an item and you do not wish for that item to be used at all for the purpose for which I have used it, if you would also email me and advise me of that, will remove it from my offerings as soon as I receive your message.
