Today she tells us about her 6 Books:1. What book are you currently reading?
That’s a tricky question. I loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I suck at description, don’t enjoy writing it at all. A Princess of Mars was the first science fiction book I ever read when I was 7, but he wasn’t a great writer. Oddly, I think it was The Wind in the Willows. Particularly the chapter called The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Every time I read it I get a lump in my throat.
