I didn't read much for pleasure as a young person, but my parents read literally hundreds of books every year. They would come home from the local paperback exchange with three paper grocery sacks full at a time. That might last two weeks or a month, tops. Eventually some of the titles interested me and I started reading a few, and haven't looked back.JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-51969262554374498262007-03-01T09:53:00.000-09:002007-03-01T09:53:00.000-09:00Bedtime stories are very big with our older child,...Bedtime stories are very big with our older child, and at nearly 3.5 our youngest is FINALLY starting to let me read to her.
