She was diagnosed with cancer when she was just nine years old. After numerous surgeries she went on to Sarah Lawrence College in NY, my alma mater =)
Very interesting, I may just have to look into getting the book myself! Where did you get the book from?

What a steal! Say you just have to have a book soon...do you have a go-to way to get it? Amazon, bookstore, library? I personally love the library, I go there at least once a week!

I'm with you there, I too love to read! What do you enjoy reading the most (genre, author, etc.)? I'm always curious to find out what others like to read!
Mostly romantic, investigative, and tragic novels. I also do a thorough background check on the author before considering if the book is worth reading.

Very cool! Oh yeah, I have to make sure the author is worth reading, don't want to waste my time! Do you have a favorite novel?

Hi dear I read 1-2 books per week so about 8 books per month I used to read more than that but my advice for you is to not stress about it just enjoy reading also if you are struggling in a book or just don't like it just skip it and maybe one day go back to it!

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the advice! I'm enjoying most of the books I decide to read, which is great! What do you like reading most (genre, author, etc.)?

I read for pleasure and generally don't calculate the number of books I am reading, however, I try to read two books a month.

I'm reading about seven right now, but a couple of those I have been reading quite slowly. Usually it takes me a week or two to read a book if I'm going straight through without setting it aside. I have a poetry book that I usually just read on Sundays.

I like to read C/T/M/H books but any book with a solid plot and quality writing will entice me.
What about you?
