Reading books isn’t really my thing. I get sleepy whenever I try to do it However, I’d like to give it another shot since I need to expand my vocabulary and I want to do something different this time. I will be reading The Selection by Kiera Case. I borrowed it from my little sister who is fond of reading books. Are you a bookworm?

I love to read books....once in a blue moon There was a time when I used to read everyday but it's not the case anymore. So not a bookworm anymore but an 'Apple' worm!

@Miracle_Maya That's nice! I love to read biographies of popular people, as well as inspirational books like Chicken Soup for the Soul.

@freelancermariagrace I love to read books on personality development, psychology, biographies of famous personalities and such. From time to time, you can even find me reading kids books! But I was never a big fan of novels. During my childhood I used to enjoy some detective type novels but that's it. What about you? Is there any genre of books you enjoy or used to enjoy at all?

By G @freelancermariagrace Maybe you get sleepy by reading a book because you just did not find the right book that keeps you interested. I love to read. I read whenever i can. When i would go to appointments I would read while waiting to be called. I sit on our porch on our Sabbath and read and get some sun and enjoy my cat.

I think so, too. Because I used to read a lot of Chicken Soup books before. Not sure though if you are familiar with that.

When I was younger I could read the book in one breath literally. Now, I often fall asleep with a book

@freelancermariagrace Either I don’t read good books so I fall asleep or the years have come for me

Reading isn't my thing either. No matter how hard I tried It only tires my eyes after few minutes. Except if they're my favorite. I remember when I was a kid before the airing of the movie lion king and I had a book of that I read every singel day.

I guess we all have a favorite book when we were still a kid. I liked Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast and other fairy tale books

Am I a bookworm? Not really. I was at one time but started to read less and less books from about 2005, when I first got a computer and found Mylot in 2006.
