I was a prolific reader as a kid. Homeschooled, single mom who worked, so I would spend sometimes 6 or 7 hours a day at the library while she was at work. Once I went through the entire kids section, the librarian caught me in the adult section and I thought I'd be in trouble. Instead she showed me this collection of fairy tales that were dark and when my mom came to pick me up, she explained I'd been through everything and asked my mom to sign consent for an adult library card. Which she did, because my mom rocks. Lol. Only book she wouldn't let me read was the color purple when I was 10. Had to wait a bit for that. Lol.
Thanks for sharing! Are you still an avid reader? Do you have a favourite book?
I don't get to read as much as I used to. My eyes are terrible now, so I do a lot of audiobooks while I'm driving or cleaning, cooking. I'm a big fan of urban fantasy, love Jim Butcher. But my favorite book is The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Favorite series is the Dark Tower series by King.
Thanks :) I haven't read much King or any Butcher so I'll check them out.
what's the colour purple?
It's a book that was made into a movie with Whoopie Goldberg. Absolutely amazing book, and one of the few examples of a movie truly holding up in my opinion. Worth watching.
TheColor Purple by Alice Walker, I presume.
Precisely.
