So, aside from chillin’ with my sweet MOH, working, beading and baking, snoopin’ gossip on the internets, fine wine and dining, copious list making, listening to the newest cuts from around the world, I actually have time to do what a lot of peopz don’t have time for.

READING.

I have absolutely loved reading and right from when I was super tiny, around 4 or 5. When I got midway through first grade, my mother took me out of one Catholic school where I was up to reading 2nd grade books and injected me into another where i commenced to lay the reading smackdown on the first and second grade books before the end of the year. (Yeah, I had to change schools that early in my life. What a suck!!!).

In eleventh grade, I chose to be an idiot at school and voluntarily pulled out of the advanced english class so I could just hang in the “dumb” class with no pressure. Stupid, stupid 16 year old me. The popular and dumb kids were all of a sudden wanting to talk and hang out, wondering why an “Einsteinette” joined their class on her own. The just dumb kids were just dumb. But the teacher wasn’t havin’ any of that. She threw me twice the reading assignments to challenge me and I broke ‘em down. I just said I would like to read in class. So you know what teacher did?

She threw them mofo university books at me. So I read ‘em. Liked ‘em. Next semester I was back in advanced class because at least, those idiots knew to be quiet while a young mind is tryna read!!!

Tome Out will be my posts about reading, books I’m currently reading or have read and maybe what I am actually learning.

{{But here’s a tip: I’m almost 100% sure that the last 5 or 6 books I read have something to do with writers/assistants on magazine staff and/or the professional woman. So i won’t bore you with a Candace Bushnell write up. ‘Cos that was eos ago and it didn’t help me then, it sure ain’t gonna help me now.}}
