Someone I interviewed once said that the greatest gift you can give your children is a love of reading. I am happy to say that after years of reading to them, encouraging them to read (by paying them 50 pence for every book they finished) and leading by example, they have finally got it.
Last night Bea dived into bed with a great grin on her face clutching a book in French about a princess who wants to be a witch. I recognised that feeling of anticipation and happiness at the thought of time alone with a book. I have it, most recently with a PG Wodehouse book I just finished. They should prescribe PG Wodehouse for depression, better than any pills.
Olivia was reading Ferdinand to Leonardo which was another sight to fill a book-mad mother with joy. This is a book that both Rupert and I loved as children, I even remember it in Swedish.
Meanwhile the house burglary saga goes on…turns out the stereo is missing and lots of DVDs and the TV in the kitchen too.
I just hope they haven’t taken any of our books….at least we had the foresight to bring Ferdinand with us.

The ever best thing you can give to your children is the love of reading, When I was child you can say that I was a book warmer. But in these days could not find time for these things.

I really love reading books. When I was a kid, I was really fond of reading books, Even up to till now I am fond of reading books. But since I have started my career. I can say that its really hard to find the time for reading the books.
