I'm glad you enjoy the blog. I love t...Bonnie,<br />I'm glad you enjoy the blog. I love to hear from people who enjoy it. Makes all the hard work worth it. :) One of my goals for the next year of blogging (I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary) is to increase my followers from 36 to 100. We'll see if I can make it happen. Word of mouth is the best way :)<br /><br />I had similar problems that your daughter had with Karate Guy. He read well above his level from SK onwards so it was hard to find books that were age appropriate but were still interesting for him. <br />As for my hubby, he has read two fiction books in our 13 year marriage so I guess I can't call him a non-reader lol ... but he's close. My dad's the same way - so not a reader. To each their own but I would have loved to have been able to share my favourite hobby with my hubby. :)Laurie@The Baking Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678146631438774221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-74030141494577066492010-07-29T08:32:25.898-04:002010-07-29T08:32:25.898-04:00I can totally relate to the non-reading hubby and ...I can totally relate to the non-reading hubby and have come to accept it (although still don't "get it" lol). I have always been an avid reader and although my life right now doesn't afford me enough spare timet o spend on as much reading as I'd like, the desire is always there! My daughter is a HUGE bookworm, has always been, it's hard to keep her in books, she's such a voracious reader. She was able to read at a very young age, and when she started Kindergarten (she is 19 now) she was incredibly disappointed that their class wasn't allowed to use the school library, only the little class library. (Don't ask - I have no idea...???) Of course that had only little "baby" books as far as she was concerned - she was already into chapter books by that point! Unfortunately my son (now age 20) takes more after his father, although he does at least have some interest in books, but is a procrastinator and that's enough to keep him from getting very far in his reading!<br />Enjoy your blog - two of my fav things - baking & books! Keep up the good work!Bonnienoreply@blogger.com
