She loves books and decided to write a book that all book lovers can appreciate. She explores how people fall in love with reading, all the readers we’ve been in our lives and how bookshelves can be organized. In each chapter of I'd Rather Be Reading, she talks about books that formed her into the person that she is today.
I’d Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel
In May, I read 14 books! A road trip helped me with that total as I often read several books during the drive. I even got to read on the beach! I read some really good fiction, a memoir, a book about real estate, my favorite author's new release, some motivational books and a marriage book. I really enjoy when I read a wide variety of books in a month!

I have a special section on my bookshelf of books that have been signed by the author. Only two were bought after they had been signed – the rest were from times I got to meet the author and tell them how much I enjoyed reading their books.
