\u201cI\u2019d Rather be Reading.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kinda my mantra. More often than not, I\u2019d choose a good book over television, work, or sometimes even conversation.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why when I saw\u00a0I\u2019d Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life by Anne Bogel<\/a>, I knew I HAD to read it. I\u2019ve followed her blog The Modern Mrs. Darcy<\/a> for just about forever, and take her book recommendations very seriously. She\u2019s sort of my reading guru.<\/span><\/p>\n

And she may have possibly written this book for me. I could have written it myself- having some of the exact same thoughts and feelings about some things that I read in it.<\/p>\n

Like that fact that it\u2019s really hard to recommend books to others. I average around 80 books a year, and when people ask me for a recommendation, I have a REALLY hard time offering them one. Because like she says, \u201cReaders want to discover what they<\/em> want to read, and they want to discover it for themselves.\u201d A book that I LOVED may not at all be the book for you. Books are unique in that way. They mean something different to each person that reads them- and that\u2019s one of the many reasons that I love reading! And like Anne also points out, sometimes a particular book finds its way to you, at the exact time you need it. Like magic!<\/p>\n

Need a laugh?<\/h3>\n

She had me laughing out loud with her chapters on \u2018Bookworm Problems\u2019 and \u2018How to Organize Your Bookshelves.\u2019 If you\u2019re an avid reader- they will really resonate with your life.<\/p>\n

I kept forgetting to share this book with you- because I read through it almost twice. The first read through in almost one sitting.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a lover of books like me, and Anne, add this one to your shelves. If you\u2019ve ever found yourself muttering, \u201cI\u2019d rather be reading\u2026\u201d this book\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n
