My mom was an avid reader and even some what of speed reader, so when I was old enough she got me reading books I was hooked on em. when I was little I read the typical chapter books and when I got older into my preteens and teens I read R.L. Stine Sue Griftin books etc, now as an adult I’m trying to expand what I read, I have some to find out that I love books written an east meets west style and books by Indian authors.
