the magic of books

During the month of March I have accomplished little.  I have most likely cooked dinner half of the time and have worked every day (except during our spring break adventure), but can not tell you anything I have accomplished after work besides doing the laundry every week and reading. 

I want to get back into making more crafts, doing more things for others, but this month I have been lazy. After work and going to the gym (I have to pray for the motivation some days) I read. I love reading. Books have such a magic to them. They capture you and take you away to an enchanted island, a pioneer trail, a poor ghetto, a magical world..... And I love them. 
I am currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I put it on hold at the library forever ago and my number on the list came up. I am only 150 pages in and it is interesting. But one thing I know for sure is that I totally understand the attraction the little girl has to books... they are so mesmerizing. 

Anyway , I am promising myself that I will be more productive in April. Hopefully the long plane ride to the Bahamas and back and sitting on the beach there will get in all the reading that I need for now. Then I can go back to reading only 30 minutes- 1 hour a day and actually do other things with my time. 

What have you done this month?
