College (Almost) Killed My Love of Reading





One night several weeks ago as we were getting ready to go to bed, my husband and I were discussing books that he was reading/books I wanted to read. 

I haven't read much since graduating college and was lamenting this fact. 
Kurtis jokingly said, "You're a journalist who doesn't read!"

Womp-womp...The hubby speaks truth!

I used to be an avid reader, but the last few years of checking social media and a leftover schoolwork hangover have combined to shred my attention span. 

I decided I was tired of my lack-luster book life and decided to limit how much I checked Twitter and Instagram, found some books that I was truly interested in, and got down to business. In a little over a month (which combined a dance recital, mission trip and now nearly-full time job) I read 5 books. 







All of these books were incredible! We already owned 2, the others I checked out from the library and have since ordered our own copies of two of them. Me hungry for more books! 

I leave you with a lesson from Arthur.
