How Many Readers are in Your Family?

MOOD STATUS: "Hungry". Been dieting lately. Ugh.
DAYS LEFT ON P90X: 78. Ugh.

For the longest time I was the only reader in the family.
My mom doesn't read.
My hubby won't read.
My kiddo couldn't read.

Depressing, isn't it?

But then my daughter got a fabulous teacher in 2nd grade and now she has become a voracious reader. (Go, kiddo!) In fact, they read different genres each month in her school and she has come to the realization that she loves comedies the best.
Huh. Just like her mama. :)

Kiddo loves Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody but her most recent favorite series that she cannot get enough of is the Dear Dumb Diary series.

Now my hubby was a harder nut to crack. He always felt "he didn't have time to read". **rolling eyes here**
I wanted to point out all the opportunities he did in fact have, but being the good wife that I am, I bit my tongue instead. Then, lo and behold, on Christmas he received not one, but TWO books. I thought to myself, "Oh, brother. This should be good." But he surprised me and actually started reading one of them when we came home from Vermont. He reads when I read now. (I know, isn't that cute?)

This is what he's so actively reading right now: The Wave by Susan Casey. Being a surfer and all, he's LOVING this book about rogue waves and whatnot.









So there you have it. We all are reading now. :)

Now if I could just work on my mom...

What about you? Do you come from a family of readers? Do you try to encourage it? How many readers are there in YOUR family?
