Since “Inspiration” is (or should) the theme this week … what is your reading inspired by? This question kinda stumped me at first I had to read a couple of answers before i came up with my own. I guess what inspires me right now to read is writing. I just bought books for research on a hopeful book I would like to write. This blog inspires me to read more then I ever have even though I have always been a reader. If really get down to it I my reading is inspired sometimes by competition. Yup that right I sometimes I read just to see how many books I can read or how fast I can read. Sometimes I am just inspired by the the feeling reading just gives me. It is exciting, thrilling and it a book. Just being a book to me means so much that I can't describe. If that makes any sense and you can't think of anything to post then just post in comments I got it or I didn't.
EDITED: I forgot other bloggers inspire me to read. With there post on there blogs and on Refer a Friday Posts. Oopsie. Sorry peoples.

I agree, of course. I also love reading. But I guess so does everyone who answers "Booking through Thursday" questions. :)
Being competitive can be a good thing, especially if it encourages you to read more!
I love getting lost in a book.

Sure, I understand. It's interesting that you're reading in order to write; all writers should be avid readers. Happy BTT.
It is exciting to add more books to your "finished" list, isn't it?
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Come by some Thursday and join in Read Aloud Thursdays!
I think that's a great answer. Blogggers also inspire me to read. I go to their sites, read their wonderful reviews, and the next thing you know I'm off to get the book.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment.
I to read to compete against myself. The first book challenge I ever participated in was the 50 Book challenge and I plan to finish that one month early. I am trying to do 60 books for 2009. The list seems long but when you get lost in a good book, you feel bad when it is over.
How fun that you challenge yourself with your reading!
P.S. I answered your question in the comments on my post. :o) If you have more questions I'd be glad to help!
i too have read some answers first before coming up with mine.
i love your header. its cute.
thanks for dropping my BTT
Thanks for visiting my blog. Reading gives me a great feeling also! I understand what you were saying. That's cool you want to write, reading lots of books is the best training you can recieve. :)
I also forgot to add that other bloggers also influence what I read from time to time! Thanks for visiting my blog :)
Hi Shannon,
Thanks for visiting my BTT response.
Challenges are great for competitive readers, even when you're competing against yourself.
I like that you also review childrens books. I'm always on the lookout for good books for my eight year old. I'll add you to my sidebar. :)
Interesting answer and you make a good point about the competition part. I hadn't thought about that!
Happy Thursday!
I had to read a couple of answers before I started writing mine :)
And sometimes I just want to finish the book so I can move on to another one.
Great answer. I'm very competitive as well and sometimes I have to struggle to stick to my priorities apart from doing what other bloggers are doing. It's hard! :-)
