Building a little library: my reading hopes and dreams

Hey guys,
Before I saw this prompt, I was just thinking about the last time I read a book and was also wondering when next I will pick a book to read. I don't know about others, but for me there is this sense of joy and pride I get when I read a book either educational, romance, suspense and the likes.

• WHEN LAST DID I READ A PHYSICAL BOOK?

The last time I remember picking a book to read was in secondary school. It's was a romance and suspense novel of about three hundred plus pages. I actually read this book in two days and that was because I was still on schools and had some chores which took my time and aside from these chores, it would have taken me lesser to read this book.

I still remember that I don't sleep early because of this book. The book was so interesting, that I wanted to know what happened next and I couldn't sleep till I knew what happened next. Till I finished the book, my mind was always on the book, thinking of when I will go home and finish up with my chores so I will read the book.

I honestly can't remember what the book was about but I loved that book to the point I finished reading it and it made my interest in reading books either similar or not grow. Then I used to borrow books from my friend @zitalove, she was the one person I could rely on when it came to books to read. I even wanted to start building a little library, wanted to speak to my mom to help me buy some novels that I could read and stock them up somewhere.

After that hook and several other books which I can't recall, I did not really have time to read again. I gained admission into the university and that even took most of my time then I became a mom and life became busier.

• WHEN NEXT DO I THINK I WILL READ A BOOK?

I was discussing with a colleague about some challenges I was facing and she told me about some books that she has and she has read and how the books impacted and changed her life a lot. I was really interested in reading such book so I asked her to help me bring them or at least one when she was coming to work the next day.

Had to give her a call on Tuesday morning to remind her not to forget the book oo 😂. She laughed and thank God she didn't forget it. The title of the book is the power of an irresistible woman. I haven't really read much but it is about how a woman will find her Mr right and know he is the one for her, the importance of realizing your true value as a woman.

I started reading this book yesterday at my place of work and the pupils kept calling me at one point or the other. I knew if I wanted to enjoy reading the book I had to do it at home when there was not much noise and stress from the environment.

• WHY DO I LOVE PHYSICAL BOOKS?

To be honest one of the best things about reading a physical is escaping the noise around. My mind can travel as far as necessary just to get the image and point of the book and know what the author is trying to depict. Here I can live different lives, feel different emotions, and understand people better. That’s something a phone screen can’t give me.

Maybe soon, I’ll walk into a bookstore, pick a book that catches my eye, and start again. I can already imagine sitting quietly, feeling the pages between my fingers, and getting lost in a story that touches my heart. I will start a little library and keep all my books there, educative, romance, suspense, action and all types of book, also keep them for my kids to read when they are of age.

So yes, it's been really long I read a book and I am hoping to go back soon. Starting with this book I got from a colleague and after that, maybe I will be walking into a bookstore to buy books of my own.
