I usually only read one book at a time, but at the current moment, I’m reading a few: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, an advanced copy of a friend’s novel that comes out this fall, and Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. I’m about to start my friend Emily Carpenter’s third novel Every Single Secret.

So many books! It’s hard to pick one. Some books I loved in elementary school were The Great Brain, Harriet the Spy, and A Wrinkle in Time. I loved all things Roald Dahl. Harry Potter was not around when I was a kid, but I’m sure I would have been a fanatic if it were.
