Book Hobby

Quote By Poet: "Don't Let Books or Poems Become A Thing Of The Past." A bookstore I can not pass up, I need a new book I can read close-up. Books and writing are my hobby, even about a dead body. My books come alive, when a reader gives it a high-five. It is great to hear kids say, I love to color your big blue jay. Now with eight books to my name, life has not been the same. I wish I had more time, then I could make more of a rhyme.

Reading is a hobby for many. Unfortunately I am not much into it. Only when I am freed of all responsibilities, I take up reading. I respect those who are avid readers. Lovely poem. Congratulations dear Paula.

Hello Paula, I think it's sad to see so many bookstores closing, thank goodness for libraries. I love to read Mauve Binchy books, an Irish author. I've never enjoyed movies that come from books, how about you? The pictures the author's writing makes in your head as you read, is never the same as the book in any other form. I love to read your poetry.

Thanks for your wonderful note. Glad you enjoyed my fun "Book Hobby" rhyme write. I do not feel most books make good movies. I love both movies/books but books the most. I have never read Mauve Binchy. It is sad when a bookstore closes. It is like a death. You make me happy when you said, "I love to read your poetry." I wish you would write more. I enjoy reading your writes. Have a fun day reading a book or writing away................

For me, Paula, writing poetry, and doing a little comment thing I can do is more than enough. I don’t mind reading online, but I don’t like books like I used to. My preference is movie and conservative news. Book shows our TV shows only.. I am visually oriented.. college reading books, and after that my desire to read one downhill. Glad you read…Pangie xx

Thanks for your wonderful note. Glad you enjoyed my fun "Book Hobby" rhyme write. I still love to find/read books. Right now I am trying to read 3 at a time. My friend gave me 2. I was working on 1. Each one I read a little a night. I do give many of them away. I keep the ones I love the best. Have a fun day reading a book or writing away................
