Popcorn reading was the best!

I remember reading my best while looking for someone who was dozing off to get them in trouble

You guys are welcome about the books, they all came back to me as I was searching for one, then the next and so on. SO many good memories, RIF was my favoriteevent of each quarter. Free books were always appreciated

I need to buy them as well to have as keepsakes as well to have them ready for whenever I have my own kids to read to
