Patrons have shared that the short chapters in James Patterson's books or reading short stories are ways that they can read before going to sleep without getting caught up in a novel only to discover it's 3 am and the alarm is going off at 6 am.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398453750549837105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728366867122619739.post-35763907403449729622017-04-28T10:29:24.836-07:002017-04-28T10:29:24.836-07:00I think you have to make time to read.

I have two kids, work full time, and I'm a full time student so the only "me" time I have is after both kids have ate dinner, bathed, and have fallen asleep. Instead of watching TV in the evening to relax, I read. You should set a few minutes aside a few nights a week and read before bed.

There are always so many roadblocks it seems to reading nowadays. Likewise, I know there are still many people in the world who value the print-based book as much as we all do, however, I also feel there isn't perhaps as much respect for it.

We did a lot this before I started graduate school. However, grad school means lots of late hours doing homework, however now that I wrapping up my studies I am looking forward to out leisure reading time together.

I usually keep two or more books by my night stand so I can read before I go to sleep and I always keep a book in my 'luggage' purse to read whenever I can get a moment to do so. It can be challenging but I don't think I would be me without the written word! It was my first love affair.

Now I have a full time job, I'm a full time student, I have a two year old, and I will have second baby within the next two weeks. I have to read in the early hours of the morning while my child is asleep or on my lunch break. That's about it. It has taken me so long to finish a book that I could have done in a couple of days before.<br /><br />But, we still read. I think that even as everything changes there will always be people who make it a priority and those that don't. The formats are changing. The availability is changing. The variety is expanding. If someone doesn't care to read, though, they won't.Paige Yoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121493040950980346noreply@blogger.com
