I've always loved to read, even as a child, I couldn't seem to get enough of books. I remember in university spending so much time reading text books that I really missed out on reading for pure enjoyment. I dove right back into reading upon graduation and fell in love with so many great books all over again. Then I had kids.....and we all know how busy we can be. Reading? Really? If I got one minute to myself I would fall asleep! I do remember (vaguely) getting into some great books while nursing my babies. When they were so small, and would nurse peacefully, i would often be found with a great novel propped on my nursing pillow beside my baby.
When I joined momstown, it was to connect with moms during the day to do activities with our kids. I have found so much more than that! After joining the momstown book club, I have renewed my love of reading once again! This time, even when I get busy, I seem to be able to make the time to read a chapter here and there. Most of the time, I can get through the book. We meet once a month, and I really enjoy our book club meetings. Some months we barely talk about the book at all. We enjoy a glass of wine, and the conversations lead far away from the book we read. What I do love is that it has got me back into a hobby that I really enjoy. This book club has got me reading some great novels that I would not have otherwise picked up, and taught me to take a moment to relax and do something that I enjoy every so often in the evening (instead of laundry?!?)
Have you read any good books lately? You can join us anytime at the momstown Oakville book club, we read a book every month, and get together to chat about it, and enjoy an evening out. To find out what we're all about, and to find out what we are reading next, join us for a free 4 week trial membership.
