The beginning of a new year always makes me stop and think about the year that just finished.

What were my….

favorite books?

special moments?

places visited?

What will I do the same or different this year?

I know that I will read as much as I can. I didn’t read as many books this year  180 compared to last year 372. I felt disappointed at first and then I stopped myself and realized that reading is not a race. It’s my favorite hobby, and I carve out as many moments to read each day as I possibly can.

Stealing moments to read is what readers do. We take five minutes here and 20 minutes there and finish one more chapter before the lights go out at night. I read because it fuels me like oxygen. Without books, I don’t know how I’d survive.

So this new year as you think about the past, ask yourself, how will you steal reading moments out of your day? What new book are you waiting to open and settle into? What books left a mark on you from 2013?

There is creative reading
