Recent Book Activity

I'm a 21 year old college student majoring in Psychology. I hope to work with children and families in poverty, helping to make sure that children receive everything they need to develop properly. I'm very much into charity work, especially those dealing with children. I'm a volunteer for a non-profit organization that collects used children's book and establishes libraries in poverty-stricten areas of the Philippines.

Obviously I love to read. I love going to yard sales during the summer and picking up random books to read. I try to always have a book going, but during the semesters it's a little hard to find reading time between classes and papers. I'm really looking forward to summer, and having a few hours a night to read for pleasure.
