The Conversation
The first book I recall reading is Are You My Mother. I became a bookworm back as far as my
memory goes. And my tbr? Who knows. A lot.
Mrs Ray, my first grade teacher, gifted me the love of reading. She would come to our house in an effort to try to help him promote to second grade. That component did not work. However, I was nosy, she was not annoyed but pleasantly surprised, and sat me down to teach me how to read. I was fortunate to have her for first grade, she did not hold me back from progressing with my reading skills to which I fell in love with reading. My first book was See Dick Run. I progressed to Nancy Drew and fell in love with mysteries. As I got older, my favorite author was Mary Higgins Clark. I read all her books as well as her daughters, Carol Higgins Clark. I actually was able to meet them in person at a book signing in Jacksonville Fl. I graduated to John Sanford, Karin Slaughter, and Steve Berry (fortunate to meet Karin once and Steve multiple times due to being leader of book club and working book conferences. I focus a lot at the present time on true crime and police procedural true crime. Basically any well-written law enforcement book — fiction or nonfiction — I will read. I do read other books, but cannot do way-out Scij-Fi or horror. Growing up, my favorite reading spot was up in the poinciana tree. It had the perfect setup of limbs to sit in the middle of the tree comfortably! I would read for hours up there in the shade!
