When I'm not reading I'm... doing work for my art classes and studying to become an Art Teacher.

Favorite Childhood Book: Can you pick a favorite??? How about 5? Blueberries for Sal by McCloskey, The Story of Ferdinand by Leaf, Trouble with Trolls by Brett, Time for Bed Sleepyheads by Chartier and Chartier, all of the Magic School Bus books.

Book I'm and Evangelist for: His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I read these books for the first time in 7th grade. I was so engrossed in them I wouldn't go to sleep until 3 in the morning on a school night, and my mother would ground me from reading, of all things! I've continued to read them every year since then, and whenever I just need to sit a read for a bit and can't decide what to read, these are always the books I turn to.

Book that changed my life: see the above line.
