My mom is the only one in my family who DOESN’T read. Rest, me, my brother and my dad read. My brother reads very less but me and my dad are dedicated readers.
I’m the only one obsessed with books but my daughter reads and my son sometimes. What breaks my heart is that my grandsons are not interested let’s hope that changes
I seem to be the only reader in my immediate family (mom, dad, brother). My husband tries to read, but he always gets distracted by other things. He’s maybe read two books this year, while I’ve read 40.
Nope, both my parents are avid readers who instilled my love of reading at a young age. Their house is covered in books and they go to the library several times a week.
My husband likes to read but he’s a slow reader so he doesn’t do it often.
My grandpa likes to read the Bible and nonfiction books, and my grandma likes Christian fiction, but neither of them actually reads very much, so I might as well be the only one.
Me too. My dad read, but he died in 1985, far too young ? But my family now don’t read at all, unless it’s The Daily (Hate) Mail or Take a Break. Very sad, I think I must have been adopted! ?
I am probably the biggest reader in my immediate family, but not the only reader. Most of my family read at least occasionally, and a couple of my aunties are bookworms, as is my niece. 🙂
Neither of my parents nor any of my 5 sibs were / are readers . But my ex husband ( my daughters dad ) was and my ex boyfriend is ( he’s my sons dad ) , all 3 of my kids are and all but one of the grandkids are and exposed my sisters 3 kids to books while they were growning up and they all became readers . None of my close friends while I was growing up nor anyone in their families were readers either . And this is in a big city with both a State University and community college and they are all middle and upper middle class . Most of the non readers have always made fun of how much time I spend , or as they tell me I waste , reading but they spend several hours every day in front of a screen .
All but one person in my immediate family and some of my extended family I’m close to voluntarily reads. ? My boyfriend doesn’t read avidly, but he’s always up for reading my drafts and blog posts.
I am my mom was when I was growing up but not nearly as much as I am. I’m a huge bookworm I run out of space for my books and all my bookcases are doubled.
Have a sister in law who reads, see ?one of my nephews with a bookoccaisonly mostly no, try and show my family a passage from a book they get all bug eyed and break out in a cold sweat!
Out of my parents and sister im the only reader. But my girls both love reading partially bc of my influence. Other day my hubby came home to find all 3 of us reading in the living room. He wasn’t sure what to think ??
I don’t understand why there are people out there that don’t like to read. It’s the best way to get away from reality. Tv is good to a point but reading is amazing!!!
Me!!!!! I’m the only reader in my family, class and friend circle.
??????
I know ur pain
Kinda me… but I will say I have a few close reader friends and we share books. My mom and I are book nerds
Me!!!! Family, friends, co workers. It’s annoying, not being able to discuss the book, especially at a good part!
I feel you. ??
I feel u
Me too. Well, I found out my nephew who’s 9 likes to read but none of the adults. ?
Im the only reader in the SIBLINGS department?. My mom and grandma reads but barely.

Me too my 8 year old reads only because she has to for school.
Yep I do believe my reading goal of this year out numbers total books read by the rest of my family. Lol
Same here!
In the family, in friends, in office… I haven’t got any with whom i can talk about books… Except you guys… So thank you guys !
Me too
Me, my oldest used to be a reader until she discovered the Internet lol
Feel you girl, I am too
Wow. Most of the member of my family are pretty avid readers.
Prauers
What do you mean?
My both sisters and I.
In our family “quality time” meant companionably together, each one with their nose in a book!
My daughter occasionally reads but the rest of my family no.
my brother reads sometimes… but nowhere near the insane amount of stuff I do.
I’m not the only one, but I think I am the one who is most obsessed with books?
Me too. My dad read, but he died in 1985, far too young ? But my family now don’t read at all, unless it’s The Daily (Hate) Mail or Take a Break. Very sad, I think I must have been adopted! ?
I’m the only one too. My dad use to say “She would read a matchbox if she couldn’t find anything to read” lol xx
I’m the only reader in my family… my mom was a big reader but she passed in 2006
