But now that I'm doing Children's Lit, it's even more amazing because professors with PhDs read YA and other Children's lit. It kinda blows my mind. In a good way. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375036339738300964.post-69221424576901672062012-09-30T02:16:49.724-07:002012-09-30T02:16:49.724-07:00Oh, that story about your friend is really heart-w...Oh, that story about your friend is really heart-warming. Reading touches everyone. Thanks for sharing that, Rachel.

"You're 23 and all you read is YA! read some adult books" Ummm yea....I DO read adult too (love the classics, Gone Girl, etc) But for me YA is an escape. Easy reading, faster pace, etc. I don't think there is something dumb about an adult reading below their age level, etc. I have a friend who is dyslexic and she never read a book before always listened to audio books but then in Uni she picked up Twilight series and READ the books. READ THEM. That was such an amazing moment for me...here was this girl who struggled with reading and just couldn't sit still yet she found a book series that allowed her to do so....finally!!! Reading no matter what is important, Jess. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076907708483883575noreply@blogger.com
