My Bio

As a kid I used to pick my books based solely on their cover. I liked books with pretty coloured jackets and something that indicated the main character would be a girl, preferably a girl about my given age at the time. I would check my pretty book out of the school library, take it to my desk during reading hour and open to page one. Instead of actually reading the book though, I would half close it every few minutes and be pleased all over again with my choice just from looking at the cover.  Content was overrated.

My grade three teacher was the first to catch on. I could read just fine for my age I just failed to see the joy in it. Upon finding out my mom bought me a book from the Babysitter’s Club: Little Sister series and insisted I read the whole thing. I read it cover-to-cover. I was hooked. Reading quickly became one of my favoured pass times and now well into my 20s, it hasn’t waned. Books provide me with that sense of escape that others get from watching movies.

I’m partial to memoirs because I usually find I’m most inspired by them. But I don’t hate, I love fiction too. Thanks for stopping by, my name’s Laura by the way.
