B is for Books and Books are for reading

As far back as I remember I started reading at the age of Six. By reading I am not referring to books that were on the list of books for my school class such as the Macmillan readers and Queen's Primer of those days. No. I am referring to books that were out of my school curriculum.  The first book I ever read of course was a Children’s book. I saw it with a friend in school on the playground during one of our recesses. I liked the book immediately. As a child I was fascinated with the pictures in the book. I think I begged my friend to let me take it home and I showed it to my dad and said, “I want you to buy this book for me, please.”  The next time I saw my dad he had bought the book and another very similar to the one I had requested for.  You can’t begin to imagine how happy I was.

Book of the Month

Book of the Month: February Hello booklovers. Welcome to the month of February. Wasn't it just yesterday, when we were calling out cheerfully,"Happy New Year" to loved ones and friends? Wow! Time keeps sneaking up on us. The book of the month for February is Me before You (Jojo Moyes).  Me before you is the story of William Traynor, who got involved in an accident  which left him confined to a wheelchair. He lived life on the fast lane and had everything going for him until the accident ruined his life. Lou Clark is the girl with no ambitions in life who is employed by the Traynors to take care of their son, Will. But even the chatty Lou could only do so much tor him. She would later learn that he had once attempted taking his own life and her real purpose of supposedly taking care of him was to ensure that he never attempts it again..... Well, I don't think there'll be any dry eyes in the house by the time we are done and dusted with, Me before You.
