I went on to become a writing major in college. Today, I edit documents almost daily and have to apologize for my corrections. I can't help myself. When I see mis-spelled words or grammar issues, it is as if they launch themselves off the page at me. And, I know it started reading all of those books.
It is too early to say if Elyse will share my love, but it sure is darling to see her early enjoyment. I brought out the camera in the first place when I saw her piled on her pillow with a book in my high heels.
And, then the pile began to grow.
I've been researching monthly book subscriptions and I've yet to find just the right one. I'd love for her to receive books each month. Something new and exciting to get in the mail. We'll keep looking until we find just the right one. Or, maybe I'll just find them on my own - at a budget price of course.
Until then, happy reading!
