<---- 7th grade, I think. At an awkward 12 or 13. You can't see it but my sweatshirt says "Book Goddess." One thing I was thinking about while sitting at Stolle was my collection of books in Russia. This thought was spurred by the fact that Mom had included in her package two paperbacks from my huge pile of books-to-read in my room at home. So, I've decided, it's time to take inventory.... This may be boring for you, but whatever. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. I'm in the mood.
