I am a reader. How do I know I'm a reader? By the fact I can name a book for every occasion of my life. For instance, I read CHARLOTTE'S WEB every single time I was home sick in elementary school...and the Junie B. Jones series every day walking home from school in first grade. So books have always been a part of my life and never fail to bring me an exciting adventure cleverly disguised behind black printed words in a paperback book (or now, more recently, digital letters.) Joining the Teenreads.com Teen Board is so exciting to me. I've always recommended books to friends (usually books I'd read because of Teenreads recommendations) but to have an opportunity to recommend them to people other than my friends is absolutely phenomenal!
