He's the one who actually got me hooked on them!

He doesn't appreciate all my book talk (which I why I started blogging), but I do like reading in the same room while he's gaming or coding. And I sometime recommend books I think he'd enjoy on audio. With both share a HUGE love of Harry Potter, and really that's the only series I need him to like. They will forever and always be my favorite books.Kate Ungerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11405706702674012331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-58228045808636299982016-10-08T22:19:49.766-04:002016-10-08T22:19:49.766-04:00What a good influence you are on him! ;-) I wond...What a good influence you are on him! ;-) I wonder if my husband could get into audio books...Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746631124966726182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-25945195453425581352016-10-08T19:03:08.322-04:002016-10-08T19:03:08.322-04:00Such a cute post and I totally agree that it's...Such a cute post and I totally agree that it's a perk not to have to fight over shelf space. My husband was pretty much a non-reader when we first met, but I guess I'm rubbing off on him because, in recent years, he has started listening to audio books on his commute to and from work. Doing that, I think he has actually probably read more books than me this year. Never thought I'd ever say that, haha!

I feel the same way, that my husband is sometimes missing out on so many cool things by not reading books. I think part of it is that he just doesn't have the patience for it.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746631124966726182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-41472381358179871852016-10-08T12:10:05.474-04:002016-10-08T12:10:05.474-04:00I'm sure my husband wishes I were as easy goin...I'm sure my husband wishes I were as easy going as you are. I'm a reader, he's not. I've always struggled with it, not in the sense that there's something wrong with him. I just feel like he's missing out on something that's just so truly magical. I feel like reading just makes life more full. Plus, it didn't help that he never understood why I loved reading. He was one of those people who thought reading was torture.<br /><br />I did eventually convince him to read a book, trading him foot rubs for chapters, haha. Once he was halfway through Gone (Michael Grant) he was hooked and read the rest himself. He's since finished the series, and read a handful of others. He'll never be a reader, like we bookworms are, but at least now he gets it. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192517103668937718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-69776440990033970412016-10-07T21:02:38.677-04:002016-10-07T21:02:38.677-04:00Thank you!
