    Thanks for this list. Love that photo of you as child in a literary lair, all those books!

    I. Love. Books.

    That's not me! That's daughter number one.

    If you know of any other lit Twits let me know and I'll add them to the list.

    Or possibly daughter number two, depending on which picture you got.
