Perhaps th...I am so happy you led me to your blog. Perhaps this is the first step in your continuing your writing. You just needed a better nonfiction format! Of course I had to respond to this post.I grew up thinking, "I hate to read!". When I graduated from college I swore I would never open a book again. Who knew I would have ended up as a librarian of all things? The key was finding something I enjoyed instead of books someone else told me to read. Now I find myself looking for the recommendations of other folks who read for fun. I am still the slowest reader in the world. Now that you have learned to read, I will be looking for your favorite books. Do I see a Kindle in your future? On a personal note, Go Dog Go was my firstborn's favorite.

"No. I do not like that hat." Perhaps because we were being taught polite manners during the same era when we were reading this book, we always thought that was the best page in the book. We were just learning to edit our speech, and this guy just said what he wanted to say and drove blithely on his way. I think we were a bit jealous, lol.Gwenhttp://youcancallmegwen.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510486287326685696.post-9098770569907425992010-07-19T08:01:55.527-05:002010-07-19T08:01:55.527-05:00You go, girl!

But still, when someone asks me what I'm currently reading, I have to answer, "It depends on which room of the house I'm in". I so enjoy that Ladies Detective series...the Prince is slowly building a hard-back edition collection of them for me.Gwenhttp://youcancallmegwen.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
