Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
My earliest memories of reading are associated with my grandparents. At their house they had a cupboard containing children's books my mom had read as a kid. It was a tradition to visit a used bookstore every time we visited them. The huge store looked more like a library and we always came home with stacks of books. My grandparents bought my first book series for my, Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie. Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz series came next, followed by The Chronicles of Narnia and Nancy Drew mysteries.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
It is hard to pick five books. I loved Mary Stewart's Crystal Cave, The Mists of Avalon, the Twilight series. More recently my favorite books have been Point of Direction by Rachel Weaver and The Young Elites by Marie Lu.
