Tamora Pierce, fuck yeah! I'm even buying them. The immortals and the protector of the small series? Awsome. Also an uncomfortable amount of James Patterson. I may be a sociopath.

Through grade school I never read anything that I didn't have to. I hated reading. Then... who knows why? I started reading and never stopped.
Don't be ashamed. It's never too late to start doing it right.
