Inspiring a love of reading is the highest honor any of us in this business will ever receive. However we get there matters less than the end goal. I’m grateful for this conversation. We probably needed it. But I’m still sad. What a way to knock yourself off your own pedestal.

There are still a few more days to enter my book giveaway! I'll draw THREE winners on May 15 - and one of them could be you! 😉
