I’ve always been an avid reader,  for as long as I can remember.  I read anything and everything!  My mom taught me to read when I was four,  before kindergarten.  I never stopped reading since that day when a new world opened it’s secrets to me.   And such amazing secrets they were!  I used to read all day.  I remember being as old as my youngest and waiting for the public library doors to open.   They would open only once a week where I lived at the time.  For the young reader that I was,  once a week was simply not enough,  so the library ladies made a deal with me,  they created a special card for me,  that had no book limits on it.   I was the only one with that special card.  Everyone else had that 5 book a week limit,  but since I probably read 5 books a day,  well,  it just wasn’t the right card for me!  I would even write my own stories at that young age too,  mysteries solved by a group of kids,  me and my friends mostly.  None of these pages still remain though,  but the exercise was a good one.
