Book Collections & Books Read since 2010

Book Collections and Books Read.

I have been reading since I was very young.  At one stage I wouldn't read so Mum and Dad got rid of our 
television and a prolific reader was born!  The highlight of the week would be to go to Glenfield Library 
with my Dad while my Mum did the grocery shopping.  Another thing I remember is the scholastic book
club,and I have fond memories of pouring over the catalogue and choosing a special (but small) selection 
of books which would then be delivered and handed out several weeks later at school.  Many of these 
books I still have.  Oh the excitement when they arrived!  One of the ones I remember is 'Spook, The 
Witch's Dog.'  I remember one year at school we had to keep a record of all the books we read that year.
I read the most in the class!  It is from that idea that my recording books read in 2010 and subsequent 
years was born.
