Steffanie's Reading List

Explore Years of Alignment

Since I was a little girl I have been reading anything I could find. Under the covers at night a book would wait. "Goodnight hun. Get some sleep." I would smile. "Goodnight." Then turn on my lamp conveniently moved to the other side of the bed, less vibrant near the bedroom door. Every few seconds with a rhythm the airport's light would flash, slide across the walls, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, the ceiling a dim lit brilliance to enhance my reading experience.

First book ever read? After Goodnight Moon, Stuart Little, then Charlotte's Web, encyclopedias and dictionaries, then off to Stephen King, Carl Sagan, lined along mom's Library wall. I encourage you to read those first books again as an adult. After years of experiences and emotions felt, goals accomplished and connections made, aspirations halted and dreams lost, days passed, there is a childlike quality that comes alive again when we reread those first books we read as a child. That excitement for adventure and new comes back and if you don't do something about it, eventually haunts you.
