I started early too, but kept reading children's books as well. At one point I was reading Enid Blyton and Arthur Koestler's The Gladiators. If a book looked interesting, I just read it.<br />Rebecca is right, though, there is so much great stuff for kids to read now, I hope you will go back. I sometimes think you enjoy kids' books even more when you grow up! ;-) Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-73338702408207598282017-11-06T01:18:20.625-08:002017-11-06T01:18:20.625-08:00Hi Sue - no wonder you wanted us to read her speec...Hi Sue - no wonder you wanted us to read her speech - I haven't fully read it ... as I have some rather major things going on - but what she said was a great expose of life as we grow up ... and those transition phases ... I think I went too quickly into serious more adult reading ... one day I'll go back and catch up ... thanks for this - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
