My mom didn't monitor my reading much, but she did put her foot down when her sister tried to lend me a romance novel at a very young age -- if I picked it up at the library, she probably never would have noticed, but since it was her sister, that was a different story!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-20679929611006669222013-06-26T15:20:10.264-07:002013-06-26T15:20:10.264-07:00This is such a great post!

Sounds like she did it just right.<br /><br />The biggest influence for me being a reader was growing up in a literature rich home. Both my brothers and I had bookshelves in our rooms. (When I got sick of my books, I'd sneak in their rooms to read theirs!) There were books and magazines and newspapers all over the house. My dad wasn't much of a reader, but my mom read daily. Most nights she still falls asleep with a book in her hands trying to get in just one more chapter. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
