Day 23 – A Book I’ve Wanted to Read for a Long Time, But Still Haven’t.
About a year ago, within a span of a week, three people said I should read it. I backpack, I love to travel, I’m an enlightened female and I read. I have even gone so far as hauling up a hard-back book on a backpacking trip. Naturally this book is a perfect recommendation. My mother raved about it a few months later and bought myself and sister-in-law a copy. So there it is, sitting on my self waiting to be read. So why haven’t I read it? To be frank, I have succumbed to ease the e-reader. My three year old son doesn’t think I am ignoring him when I read off of my phone or kindle because I can pretend that I am doing something important on the kitchen counter, when all I am really doing is reading. Ridiculous as that excuse is, I vow - Wild will be the next physical book I pick up and read.

You will not regret it for one minute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mom :) I had a feeling you'd say that. I promise it will happen this year, and then I'll gush all about it.
DeleteI made the mistake of reading the first two chapters last year while waiting for my flight to take off....last year...when I thought my Mom was really really sick....there I was in first class bawling my eyes out. Word to the wise read those chapters in the peace and happiness of your house!
