Self Portrait Tuesday: Exploring Identity
READER
I love reading. In elementary school I was the "Royal Reader". I would read book after book and write little reports on them and get Royal Reader certificates. My favorite books my mom still has are the Ramona Quimby books and a book called "Lizza Lou". Later on I really got into Stephen King. Now I'm into anything that can grab me in the first 2 pages, and that I can read fast. If I don't like it within the first chapter I'll stop reading it. Last night at the library I picked up "The Tattoo Artist" by Jill Cimnet and "Fallen" by David Maine. I keep a little journal, whenever someone recommends a book, I write it down. When I finish a book I write a few thoughts on it. I also love reading magazines. Oprah, Organic Style, National Geographic, Martha. If a book is really good I will get a little choked up when I read the last sentence, even if it's a happy book. Other Self Portrait blogger HERE

with a little note when done...
i am an avid magazine enthusiast
(to the dismay of my husband)
and when i was in grade one,
i used to get in trouble for
reading archie comics during class

We have this in common. I'm a voracious reader and always have been. When I started on novels, it was Stephen King all the way. I'm in 2 bookclubs and that has opened me to reading a lot of books I either didn't want to read or never heard of. I hope to pass my love of books and reading to my girl.
I probably subscribe to more magazines than anyone should (that isn't a doctor's office!) and it runs the gammet on what types I get.
i love that book liza lou..i totally forgot about it and her being in the swamps and stuff..cute pic too!
I really like this picture!!!
I love books and magazines. Stacks and stacks of both. And the Hello Kitty pajama pants are a nice touch.
My self-portrait would look very similar! I love books and I get frustrated when I look at my list of books to read--there are just too many!
i'm the same way, i'll put down a book if it doesn't capture my attention. i LOVE magazines too. i have tons of subscriptions...they are like an oasis on a crazy day.
