Elizabeth Dulmeba just blogged about a great organization that is working to get books into the hands of children in lower income communities.
First Books is about to celebrate the distribution of their
50 millionth book! By voting for what book got you hooked on reading, you can win the state of you choice 50,000 brand new books for children in need. So
go vote! I just did. My state if pretty low on the list. I think I need to get the word out here at home.

I can't vote unfortunately. I'm not from the USA. But I do feel compelled to tell someone that I first got hooked by Enid Blyton's "The Enchanted Woods" series. Loved it!! and then there was 'Anne of Green Gables', 'Charlotte's Web'...the list goes on.
Sorry you can't vote. But thanks for sharing the book that hooked you. I need to do the same. After I finish up the dummy book I'm putting togther!
