#HowDoYouBook
I read novels.
I read essays.
I read short stories.
I read in bed.
I read on the couch.
I read on the floor.
But no matter whether it's novels, essays, short stories, bed, couch, floor--I'm reading to become myself.
- Kate DiCamillo, former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature
