Dare to...

My twelve year old doesn't like to read.  I really wish she would love it as much as I do.  Recently I have been thinking about all the books that I loved when I was her age.  Where I grew up there was no mega bookstore nearby and well I was one of those kids who would read anything I could get my hands on.  At twelve years old that included my first Harlequin novel thanks in part to my Aunt who noticed I was quite the bookworm.

It wasn't a piece of fine literature or anything, but even back than I enjoyed reading it.  Years later it was one of the titles that has always stuck in my head.  Last week I stumbled across it online and I gobbled it up immediately.  Yesterday it showed up in the mail and I was returned back to my preteen years of giddiness as I help my treasure in my hands.  This year it is a challenge to myself to increase my library with all the memorable treasures that have turned my into such an avid reader and writer.

What are some of your reading treasures and would you dare to find them?
