I too came back from the library with armloads, AND did the summer reading competitions to see who could read the most the library sponsored. My classmates used to make fun of me because I always used big words. It came from reading (ok, and from hanging around only adults. I related better to them than my classmates. Go figure.) I too, am the only one in my family so addicted. The others read, but could take it or leave it.

She still complains about it and when she sends a check for my birthday she will write in the card "don't buy books with this." of course I buy books with it, I just don't tell her that :)Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-59983618616201519902010-01-24T22:26:33.267-05:002010-01-24T22:26:33.267-05:00Hah!
