"I know these books aren't great literature, but they do provide nice little emotional stories. I've decided to read a couple every day or so just for fun. I've been reading them using that Google preview option, which is super cool. I have been getting made fun of though for this choice as well as for liking the stories! I can't help it though; I read them at school and miss my cats!"
