Writing Saturday: R is for Reading

For any writer to become really good, they have to read a lot.  Before I was a writer, I read about one to three books a week.  Yes, I was/am a bookaholic and I like it.  I don’t read quite that many books anymore, mainly because I am too busy writing them.  However, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite childhood books.
