Good story, Dascha. Truth. I used a flashlight, books under the covers. The books were usually library books. I like to think that I was raised in a library. A library is my go to place. A library card sparked my curiosity about the world, creating a multi genre reader. Reading is learning, but not in an academic pursuit way for me. It’s my escape to another world. I still keep a flashlight on my night table.

Me too, Barb. I still have that flashlight in my bedside table. It also comes in handy when an idea hits me in the middle of the night and I need to get it down!
