Unbelievably, I've managed to read only one book since 1984.
As a teenager, I was an avid reader and loved books. At the age of 19, when I finished reading the novel Flowers in the Attic, little did I realise it would be a further 26 years before I would pick up another book. Life just became too busy - working full-time, renovating houses, then raising children etc. However, I did find time to read a book during a weekend visit to Wellington (New Zealand) in 2010. The book was Spirit Whispers by Charmaine Wilson.

For my recent birthday, my daughters gave me the book Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton. Although compiled mainly of pictures and photos, I think this should count as my book for the task. And hopefully a few more to follow before the year is out. |
