I love to read. Give me a book and I’ll devour it in a day—hours if its really good. Another thing I’ll do if a book is really good—stop reading it to write. Some books are so beautifully written that it just makes me put it down and write my own beautiful words. The [...] My mama has been sick these past couple of days and now she’s in the hospital.
