Borrowing books for the love of reading - Do you love reading books?

 Rose loved to read books and she is thankful to her mother for helping her to adapt to such a habit. Her mother had a small library with a collection of books at their house. As her mother used to borrow books for the love of reading and to quench her curiosity, Rose also took an interest in reading books. 

From short stories, fictions, novels, books of facts, general knowledge, Rose used to read most of the books she could lay her hands on. This habit Rose had was indeed a good habit but it used to affect her performance in the university exams. "Focus on your exams dear. You could read books whenever you want after your exams. Now, it's time to focus on your education." Said her mother. Rose knew that she was addicted to reading books. However, she made a strong decision to focus on clearing her final exams which also included practical exams. 

Her mother requested help from her friends. They hid any new books they found from her sight so that she could focus well on preparing well for exams. Rose attended her exams and was so happy that she was able to clear them with good grades. The teachers were so happy to see how determined Rose was and how she controlled her weakness which is reading books most of the time. 

Once she graduated, she was happy to work in the university library. She felt that it was the ideal and best job she could ever get. She still has the passion and love of reading. However, she makes sure to do all the work and read books only during her free time.
