Reading as LGBTQIA

Alphabet Reading

                                                        

Loving to read as far back as I can remember.

Getting books for my class from the bookmobile, I gather treasures with glee.

Bumped up a grade because I could already read.

Tearing through Nancy Drew mysteries like potato chips.

Quietly sitting in a corner, always entertained.

In a noisy school bus, just me and my book.

Attempting to write my own stories.

Leave the house without a book? Never.

Gotta have a way to corral my thoughts.

Being without a focus can lead to panic.

Technology to the rescue; Kindle has me covered.

Quickly digitizes every book I might want to read.

I seldom buy dead tree books any more.

Amazon saves my sanity; I am loyal to it.

Leisure means freedom to read as long as I want.

Good books last longer when part of a series.

Boring books I quickly close; I have many others.

To write my own books is a current focus.

Queer Elders Writing Workshop supports me.

I like to encourage other writers.

As addictions go, reading is not so bad.
