 I love reading since I was a small child. My mother always brags that I was such a easy girl to care for, just give me some books and I would sit quietly for hours. I would even read dictionary (at least until I was old enough to go to library on my own, as our family was not a book-loving one)! It's hard to say what type of books I like. I don't like sci-fi in general but Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are on my top ten list. I seldom touch romances, though once in a blue moon one will touch my heart. However, in general I enjoy travelogues, memoir, books about food, Asian literature and young adult fiction.
