My parents would read to me every night -
Started reading for fun -
I read my first Judy Blume book and was hooked, I still read her books til this day. She really helped shape me into a young lady. -
Loved reading so much my parents would buy me book series to keep me entertained -
Read this when I was in middle school, it feels like it was yesterday. Loved this book, it reminded me of Pocahontas which I was obsessed with growing up. -
I was becoming a young lady and my parents wanted me to read something to help me understand young adulthood and what was to come. -
I was introduced to Emily Dickinson when we had to understand how to read and write poetry. -
I wrote my very first poem. It was a metaphorical poem and it was deep. -
I was introduced to Dean Koontz and became obsessed with collecting his books. I now have almost 50 of his books. -
Fast forward to adulthood, when I came across a poet who absolutely spoke to me and I related to everything she wrote about. Her books helped heal parts of me and I currently have her new poetry book “Healing Through Words” which is a journal with writing prompts. I have all of her books.
