She always told me too, that she wanted us girls to learn to think and have common sense. I&#39;m thinking that came from her years as a teacher too. :) <br /><br />Currently I&#39;m reading The Moses Conspiracy by Susan Reinhardt, along with Ann Gabhart&#39;s Scent of Lilacs. I have a half dozen (at least) books on writing that I&#39;ve started too, and a copy of Jody Hedlund&#39;s newest waiting patiently to be read and reviewed. That&#39;ll all keep me busy for a while! :) Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-42838279062811608482013-03-27T08:53:46.663-04:002013-03-27T08:53:46.663-04:00I was fortunate because my father, who never owned...I was fortunate because my father, who never owned more than half a dozen books himself, was a lifelong library habitue. He always had a couple of books on the go, so I guess I picked up something of the habit. <br />Right now I&#39;m re-reading &quot;The Shiny Night&quot; by Beatrice Tunstall. It&#39;s an undeservedly out-of-print novel published in the 1930s and set in Cheshire during the reign of Queen Victoria.RobCromptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282446256418335464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-74279305536463591982013-03-26T19:09:11.662-04:002013-03-26T19:09:11.662-04:00I&#39;m glad you were finally able to nurture a lo...I&#39;m glad you were finally able to nurture a love of reading. I didn&#39;t go to the library much as a kid, but my parents indulged me when I brought home book orders and wanted to join book clubs. <br />I&#39;m trying to read two books at the same time now (which never really works well for me): The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason and The True Secret of Writing by Natalie Goldberg.

I stopped reading when I got to around 9-12 though, because the pictures were gone and there was too much text in almost every book. I had a reading difficulty I never knew about. But R.L. Stine&#39;s Fear Street series brought me back. And I&#39;ve been going on strong ever since (of course, much stronger these few years since I began writing). Maybe I&#39;m making up for lost time, too, like you. Hence the PB-MG novels I&#39;m devouring.

It&#39;s a good thing that I am first taking to the whole music theory thing as an adult. But I think the results will be worth listening to.
