I LOVE reading! It is one of those things that I have to find time to do everyday and when I get stuck into a good book, I just can't put it down. I'll be up all night reading just to try and finish it off! Even as a kid, I would spend my afternoons and weekends reading my favourite books. My mum would tell me to go outside and play - so I would take my books out on our big verandah and read there or under a big tree in our backyard. This love of reading only started in grade 4 though - when discovered the Baby-Sitters Club! Boy,did I love those books!
Childhood Favourites
The Baby-Sitters Club
Seven Little Australians (this book always makes me cry)
