I love to read. I started reading Barbara Cartland romance novels when I was a child because I have always loved fairy tales. I do not like graphic violence, but I do love drama. I don't like some of these newer novels about abused childhoods and substance abuse. I like good writing, but I will opt out for a good story any day. I like a good Dan Brown page turner, but I especially love good literature, writers like Annie Lammot and Pat Conroy. I am a high school English teacher, and have a special place in my heart for British Literature.
