I read a lot as a kid both because my mom thought reading was important but also because we were learning how to read together – I was reading for the first time while my Mom was working on her English. Anyway, she always told me how I loved to read but seeing it reflected by this list makes me realize just how much I actually did read because this doesn’t cover all of it! I hope you have some fond memories of reading in your childhood because it’s one of my favorite memories of my own.

Cheers.
