A not so simple question for you all Pagebound. Who turned you into a lifelong reader?
A teacher, a family member, a librarian? Can you remember what book it was that turned the light on?
My main reading influence was my maternal Grandmother and Aunt who used to read to me when they looked after me as a child and teen (to help with writing and language issues). The book that made me read as a teen was eitherPeeling the Onion by Wendy Orr or The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.

Great story about Mona the Wizard Baker! I wish my gingerbread people would do my bidding too. Also, great discussions about heroism from the perspective of a 14 year old.

FACTS. THAT REALLY JUST WOKE ME UP I NEEDED TO HEAR THAT 😆
loving Evelyn so far, at first I was a bit unsure about Monique’s POV but I like how it’s starting to unfold now.

Can I just say, I absolutely adore when authors narrate their own books. It feels so intimate and intentional, I am really excited to listen to Robin Wall Kimmerer share her writings how she intended 🥰
