I've always been a big reader. In fact, "big reader" kind of doesn't do it justice. Like, I got in trouble in elementary school for reading too much. That's like full circle theory. In my painfully awkward middle school years, I read a book a day, I kid you not. Reading rather than talking to people during lunch hour will do that.
Now that the world's tiniest violin is done providing the soundtrack for my twelve year old self, we can move on to summer reading!
I'm a big novel reader, mostly urban fantasy and scary things. I love scary books but I can't handle scary movies, go figure. Anyway, one of the things I wanted to do more this year was get into nonfiction books. I mean, fantasy is great, but there are a lot of cool things that actually happen too, and I feel like I should be more informed about them.
I really like reading memoirs, because I like reading about cool people, and if you're cool enough to write a memoir I figure there's probably a lot I can learn from you. Someday I wish to have enough neat life experiences to write a memoir. Someday.
I ordered my first two a few weeks ago, and they finally came in!
