I'm an avid reader. I have been for as long as I can remember. As a child I spent family vacations with my nose stuck in a book. I'd easily finish reading four or five books while sitting at a campsite in Colorado. I devoured Nancy Drew and The Baby Sitters Club.

I currently have a stack of books begging for my attention. I have Continue Reading
