And then we travel a lot.

We have four young adult children, and they're scattered everywhere from here to Japan.

And so no one ever tells you how busy young adult children keep you.

Thankfully, it's very fun.

And so between that and then we own a large sailboat that we spend time on, between our kids and our sailboat, we are also traveling a lot.

So that's pretty much my life.

I have always thought of myself as a reader, and I think the other people in my family did too.

When my grandmother needle-pointed a Christmas stocking for me, she put a little bookworm on my stocking.

So I've always been a reader, but through high school and college, I got a technical education.

I have an engineering degree, and I was very math-oriented.

I liked to read, but my English class experiences weren't great.

I didn't fall in love with any books when I was in school.

But even though I like to read and then when I went to college, I hope y'all are sitting down.

I got through Georgia Tech without taking an English class.

Just crazy.

So anyway, reading as I when I started working was kind of an escape from the numbers.

And an escape from daily work life.

And then as my kids were born, I became a stay-at-home mom.

And I kept reading.

And it was just another way to be in a different world for a little bit.
