All About Elise: Passion for Reading

One thing I have a huge passion for is reading--and books in general. In fact, if I had to say I like to collect one thing, I'd say it is books. Seriously! I love the feel and smell of a new book, and I love the look of full bookshelf. Look at our living room:

I read all different kinds of books. Really. I love classics, like Austen and Dickens.

I love contemporary classics, like On the Beach or Brave New World.

I love modern novels, like Water for Elephants.

I love children's literature, from CS Lewis to Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson). I love Harry Potter.

I love popular teen novels, like The Hunger Games.

Right now I'm reading a memoir, Through My Eyes (Tim Tebow).

I even love children's books, and Cadence and I love to read together! She will tote a book around just so we can sit down anywhere are read it!
