Drop Everything And Read Day

Did you know that April 12, is "Drop Everything And Read Day"? All across the nation, readers will celebrate this day. This would have also been my mother's birthday, if she was alive today and it is my niece's birthday too. The day is designed to celebrate books, as well as, families reading together. Have you ever thought what books have influenced you. Does one in particular come to mind? Why did it mean so much to you, do you remember? It's an interesting thing to think about. I love to read, how about you?
