I wasn't as big of a reader when I was a kid as I am now.

I do try to get my kids to read, they do but not as much as I would like them to. My 2nd child (Joey) is starting to get into reading a bit more which is exciting to me. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal really made a huge impact on him and he has now watched all the movies. He wants to start the books too. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan so that makes me super duper happy!

I killed that Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen "We can solve anytime by dinner time" series.

I was a huge reader. Love my books!

I used to read the "Dear America" books. I was infatuated with the sweet valley twins and felt as though I grew up with them as I moved from them as kids, then to preteens, high school and when they went to university. I read a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koonts when I was in 5th grade and 6th grade. I also had an odd amount of text books that I collected. Not from school but stuff I picked up at second hand stores.

Oh yeah, huge reader back as far as I can remember.

Became very close with the super old librarian when I was in middle school. I used to go every second day after school and she'd always have books put aside for me that she thought I'd like.

Totally a reader as a child. I statues very early as well. Ibises to wall the hallways on grade school with head on a book. I was one of those kids who hide under a blanket with a flashlight and read all night.
