Booklr Questions – Do you reread books?
Do you reread books? I certainly haven’t reread every book I’ve ever read. But, there are a few books that I find myself rereading on a fairly regular basis. I tend to read my copy of A Wrinkle in Time about once a year. It’s a book that I’ve enjoyed reading since I was first…

Who are your favorite book characters? It’s so easy for me to fall in love with characters in books, but rarely because they are sweet. I find myself falling in love with the brave, the decisive, and the eccentric. A few of my favorites are: Lettie Hempstock in Ocean at the End of the Lane…
