I should have known to run, not walk, when it was clear that most of them didn't read for pleasure. How lucky you are to have been left with that!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-25778818852658465542015-03-17T12:14:28.447-05:002015-03-17T12:14:28.447-05:00What a great post.

I...Love this post Ryan and I love your attitude. I've definitely taken something positive from each of my ex's. First ex the positive was of course our children and we're still actually friends which is nice. 2nd ex the positive was that 10 years of hell was over! I learnt to listen to and trust my instincts, better late than never lol, and I learnt that it's ok to have boundaries. Funnily enough neither of them read, might account for their narrow outlook on life lol. How wonderful you have such beautiful book memories connected to past boyfriends.

I've been meaning to make it to The Thief of Always for AGES. And I also really like Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series (although I've had some serious ups and downs with her other books) - I don't know anyone else who has read them! And I'm about to start my first Guy Gavriel Kay as soon as I finish the book I'm reading right now! I must say, your exes DO have excellent taste! I can't say that any of my exes were into books, so sadly I didn't get any of those. I DO credit pretty much all of them with introducing me to music that I like though, so I'm ok with that trade off haha. Ahhh this post made me all excitable!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-72431714866450603472015-03-15T10:45:12.391-05:002015-03-15T10:45:12.391-05:00I need more friends that recommend good books to m...I need more friends that recommend good books to me :)Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-74252504256029406362015-03-14T21:38:54.202-05:002015-03-14T21:38:54.202-05:00Wish you and Derek would've stayed together. ...Wish you and Derek would've stayed together. Then you'd be in Colorado with me!! I really do like this post. When I was dating the boys were losers and none of them read books. Sigh. My husband reads so there's that. I introduced him to all the books though.

Sad to say that none of my ex-boyfriends were readers. Maybe that's why they became ex's? Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.com
