Thankfully Reading Mini-Challenge #1

The first challenge for the Thankfully Reading Weekend is hosted by Jenn of Jenn's Bookshelves. She challenges:

Write a post about the book you are most thankful for.  This could be a book released this year or twenty years ago.  Your post should include why you are thankful for that book.

My answer is slightly embarrassing but I'm going for it anyway. The book that I'm most thankful for is:

After my son West was born four and a half years ago, I was completely overwhelmed with being the mom of a two-year old and a baby. I was lucky to pick up a magazine for few minutes a day. Reading books, one of my favorite pastimes, became a distant memory. Until the day two years ago that my friend Capello brought me the book Twilight and told me that I WAS reading this book whether I wanted to or not. In addition to waking up my inner fifteen year old girl, reading Twilight brought back my reading mojo. After I finished the Twilight series, I started reading again on a regular basis – all kinds of books, not just fluffy vampire ones. Now reading is once again a huge part of my life. Thanks Twilight!
