Reading has always been a great escape in my life. Books gave me joy, taught me much, but mostly, they were entertainment.
I had a good upbringing, raised by my mom and grandma. We weren't rich or poor, I had what I needed. Books, however, were a luxury, an "extra" given to me as gifts or on special occasions because they weren't in the budget. So I spent many hundreds of hours at the library. Free books! Thousands to choose from. Tastes change, and different people like different genres, but from the beginning, I gravitated toward mysteries and thrillers.
