I have just checked out my goodreads.com page and found out that I have read (ONLY) 27 books last year. Not bad, but I wish I did read more.

I’m a book lover. But, since I have to be wiser in spending money, I managed to keep my hands away in bookstores. I only bought those I knew I would read. Well, I did buy 2 or 3 [ok, 7 or 8] books that I haven’t read up until now. But, I promise, I will.

“Books give you knowledge.” (Tim Sanders)

They do. When I read fictions, I feel like learning people’s characters. When I read non-fictions, I feel like I become a better person, I know more than before.

Everytime my family and I go to a bookstore, I always let mu daughter choose one book that she likes. I will buy her another book that I think she would love and get knowledge from.

It’s fun seeing how my daughter being passionate about books. In a few years, I bet her collection is a lot more than mine.

I haven’t counted how many books she has read since she was born. But, I think, I will, anytime soon. She could have read more than I did.

I plan to read more this year. But, since January, I only have finished 2 books, 2 others are still being read.

I wish I were a quick reader.

Don’t forget to ask me by the end of this year how many books I’ll finish reading.
