Are you a Booksomniac?

Are you a Booksomniac? How many of the following statements apply to you?

I read past my bedtime.
I don't understand anyone's comments about late-night TV.
The number of times I hit snooze can be directly correlated to the number of chapters read the night before.
If I finish a book, it's time to start a new one, no matter the hour. Because, NEW BOOK NIGHT!

If you agree with three or more of these statements, you might be a Booksomniac like me! But even if you're a morning reader, vacation reader, train reader, or occasional reader I hope that you will find a good recommendation here. Welcome!

You Are My I Love You

by Maryann Cusimano Love

I should just keep a permanent stack of copies of this book considering the number of times I've given it as a gift. I read this book a million times to my two children, now ages 6 and 9, and I STILL can't get through "I am your way hom...
