#SOL17 I Read 17/31

2017 is the tenth year of the Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted by Two Writing Teachers, The goal is to write and post a "slice of life" story every day during the month of March. My seventh graders are also participating in a slimmed down version of the challenge, writing 10 slices during the month.

Slice of Life: I Read

(Thanks to Leigh Anne for this format idea.)

I read; therefore, I have traveled the world.
I read; therefore, I feel the stories of others deeply.
I read; therefore, I love finding new book recommendations and suggestions.
I read; therefore, I can't stop talking about books when someone makes the "mistake" of asking.

I read; therefore, I always need to "just finish this chapter" before starting something new.
I read; therefore, I also lie about how many pages are left in that chapter.
I read; therefore, my sink is piled with dirty dishes.
I read; therefore, my dining table is piled with books.

I read; therefore, my cats have grown accustomed to ducking under a book to find my lap.
I read; therefore, my bookshelves are crowded to overflowing.
I read; therefore, my classroom bookshelves are crowded to overflowing.
I read; therefore, my heart is crowded to overflowing.

Why do YOU read?
