 Books and yorkies
are my passions. in fact last time I moved, i had to hire movers cause I have almost 7,000 books, yep 7,000, Favorites, anything by Ann Rule, Patricia Cornwell, Stephen King and if you really like mysteries, try Richard NORTH Patterson, Eyes of the Tiger, yum, kept me guessing til the last moment. I find anything by Danielle Steele follows a predictable pattern, she has a formula in her computer that by the time you have read two of hers, just change names and places and it is the same drivel. I have been reading since age 3 and until yorkies, books were my passion. In 3rd grade I won an award for reading 140 Library books during the school year, this was not counting my outside reading, such as Trixie Belden, Donna Parker, etc. I read an average book 5-6 times and have been known to actally wear out a book and purchase it again. My ultimate possession is Stephen King's autograph on my copy of It, just happened to run inot him, his wife Tabitha (another author) and their son, Owen at a toy shop in San Francisco in 1994. If you read well, you can do almost anything reasonably well. Gifts to grandkids are almost always books, and all excel in school. |
