Throughout my formal schooling years, I was not known for a great love of reading. I read the books that were part of the school requirements and there were a few rare exceptions that struck my interest higher than usual, but for the most part, I left the avid reader title to my older sister, Emma. It became my desire though to change that and to form the discipline of becoming a better, more well-read young lady. When I began to implement this discipline into my life regularly, I discovered how much I enjoy reading and the evenings became special as I would, after all the hubbub of the day had subsided, I would find a comfortable spot somewhere and curl up to read before calling it a day.
It is my desire to begin writing book reviews for books that I have read or as I complete them, both to share the literature that I read and to encourage positive and uplifting reading material for other young ladies. What we read, and what we put our minds upon are very important and have such a long-lasting, even eternal influence on our lives. Would this area of our lives be surrendered and honoring to the Author of all good things.
