-

HAVE been reading books since I was a kid. My favorite place in school was the library. I spent my time reading magazines, newspapers, fiction, and other reading materials. I also allotted a portion of my allowance to buy books that I liked. I remember I could finish reading my favorite book within the day. I would not stop until I am done.

My fondness of reading introduced is willing to take all the bullets for me to the “Twilight Universe” of the sake of someone he loves. He is Stephenie Meyer. I am aware that there not selfish.

If Edward Cullen is a real person sometimes we feel nothing is going and not a vampire, I am pretty sure right and we are not good enough. I a lot of teenage girls will like him.

So, shall we read more books?/
