I read a lot when I was a kid.  When I was really young it was the Laura Ingalls Wilder series.  I don’t remember how many times I read those through.  Then Anne of Green Gables, of course and also Emily of New Moon (which I secretly liked better).  When jr. high and high school came around there was less time for leisure reading, but I still managed to do quite a bit – usually late at night when I should have been sleeping, making for some close calls with the school bus in the morning (and some misses, if I’m being honest). So when Alexis had the idea of a book-themed portrait session, I totally understood.  I arrived at her house and saw that she had a few of her favorite books picked out.  Some I had read.  Some of the newer young adult titles I hadn’t heard of.  I asked if she could bring a few more, just for fun.  How many more?  As many as you’ve got!  She went back up to her room and returned with one of those over-sized duffle bags – you know, the ones that are for like, sports equipment or something – full of books.  And this obviously didn’t even include what she has on her Kindle.  Atta girl!
