How I Miss Reading Rainbow

How many people who were the product of the 80's like me, or even had kids in the 80's remember the wonderful theme song to Reading Rainbow?

"Butterfly in the sky 
I can go twice as high 
Take a look 
It's in a book 
A Reading Rainbow..."


I used to LOVE that show, and the books they would read were always so good! As a kid, the summer was always full of excitement because there was the Library Reading Program, and the worm I could color in every time I read a certain amount of books...I was pumped to be able to advance to the next stage. I just LOVED reading as a kid, even teenager. I don't what happened in my adulthood, maybe it was all the self-help/christian/relationship books we read in college but I got a little burnt out. Now there were an occasional few I read that really stirred something within me, but that wasn't the case for most. I've decided I'm done feeling that way.

So I've decided (thanks to inspiration from our friend Kendall) to read the top 100 list. Some are classics and some are newer, but I want to fall in love with reading again. If you are looking for ideas, feel free to take a gander at my list on my Pages. #Fortheloveofreading
