I received a letter this week was from an almost-nine year old who had just finished reading The Tale of Despereaux. Her name is Rachel and she says that she likes to "read with a snack and sink into the story."
Isn't that grand?
But here's my favorite line from the letter: "Some people call books things, but I call them magic."
Magic. Yep.
Me, too, Rachel. That's what I call them, too.

Vicki G I still call them that even though my family had little interest in reading. My mom read more than anyone besides me. My dad prefers watching it on television, but he watches football and golf.
My brother hated reading. My nephew hates it too, but he's a teenager. Maybe he'll change his mind later. His mom likes reading; my sister.

Vicki G My mom read 'Gone with the Wind' every single year.
She also read Nam and Helter Skelter, but she wouldn't let me read either book until I was older than 14.
