I struggled with reading as a child and didn't really enjoy reading much in school. I don't remember many books that I enjoyed reading as a kid, but I do remember going to various libraries and checking out books. I remember going to 3 different libraries - the library in West Jordan that my mom volunteered at, the library in Sandy, and my favorite library that was on the way to Grandma and Grandpa Shaw's house. After I graduated from college, I started to read some of my mom's LDS fiction books. They are easy reads and I enjoyed reading those romantic novels. The books became too predictable and decided that I wanted to try to read more challenging material. I started to read John Grishman books and I discovered that I liked adventure/suspense books as well as romance novels. I joined a book club about 8 years ago and I've read a variety of genre. I decided that I like fantasy books and historical novels too. I really enjoy reading now and wish that I had more time to read a book or two.
