Why Reading is My Favorite Hobby

I have so many hobbies I enjoy that it’s hard to choose.

I enjoy reading, writing, playing cards, quilting and puzzles. So which one do I choose as my favorite.

I spend more time reading than any of the others. So, I will say reading is my favorite pastime. When the weather is nice, not too hot or cold, I will be sitting on my porch with a good book and a cool glass of lemonade. When winter comes I will be sitting on my sofa all bundled up with a good book. Television programming is rather lousy these days. So thank goodness for authors and great books.

Some of my favorite authors include:

  • John Grishman
  • Mary Higgins Clark Never pass one of those up
  • Tami Hoag Just finished her latest one
  • Johanna Lindsey
  • Jude Deveraux
  • Nora Roberts
  • Sandra Brown
  • Linda Castillo

That’s just a short list. I keep adding other authors I like to the list.

Thank goodness for the library and it’s book sales. I can get as many books as I can fit into a bag for a small fee. They keep my shelves full so I always have a book handy.

I belong to a local book club in my area. We each buy one book and in two weeks we pass the book on to the next member. This is a very old book club. It was started before cars and libraries existed. The members of the first book club actually took out loans to buy a book. We have come a long ways from that first book club.

I picked reading as my favorite pastime but I enjoy all my hobbies. I am so glad to have hobbies so that I am never complaining about being bored.
