Books I've Read
As a result of the book summaries I post at the end of the year, I have been asked about other books I read. Here's the list!
I read my first (non-golden) book in third grade, about the FBI, and have been reading ever since. After high school, I started keeping track, although some of my early records are missing or incomplete.
