I’m illiterate…
I could probably go on and on, but I’ll try to keep it short.
I grew up in West Virginia, and reading just wasn’t something that was emphasized when I was a kid in the ’80s. Looking back, I probably had ADHD and a few other learning challenges that went undiagnosed. For a long time, I never thought of myself as much of a reader.

Some people are saying that you should do “not just YA novels” but I find that if that’s what you want to read then that’s the books you like. And if people don’t like those types of books find a diffrent podcast and don’t leave a bad review I will say she doesn’t actually read YA it’s always “general content” so like 18+ but I do... more
