I do prefer books with characters I can identify with - they just don't have to be written for my age group.jlshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268434704970729620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-53761523800714139702011-05-12T12:49:46.718-04:002011-05-12T12:49:46.718-04:00This is actually a tough question.
