Did you find reading or did reading find you?
My mom got me hooked on reading and it is something that we have always bonded over. It has made us really close and one of the few things that we always agree on. We bond by going to the library or book stores together and over our goodreads accounts. It is really special for us to share this passion together.

I was raised by my grandma and papa (grandma died of cancer when I was 11 & papa embezzled I believe it was over half a million dollars and just left one day a few months later)
and they use to read to me all the time.
my favorite book was butterfly kisses- bob Carlisle
it was the first thing my dad gave me when he was in jail.
I also loved Winnie the the pooh books and fairy tales.
me and papa sat and drew life size verions of all the charcters from the whinnie the pooh books on my wall
(I have a picture ill find one day of it) im painting piglets nose (he was taller then me)
and papas sitting in my pink pplastic tea party chair holding one of the books.
I miss them so much but every day I thank god I still have little memories of them.
so to answer your question reading found me.
if it wasn't for them I don't know if I would have picked up books and be reading nearly as much as I do.

My dad had a large collection of books in our holiday home. I didn't have any friends there and there was really nothing else to do. I just read the books whenever we went there. We've been going for as long as I remember, I think even before I was born.
