Now time for the not-so-patented Persnickety Snark reader's snapshot questions.
Which book is memorable from your teen years?
Well, I read this prior to my teen years, but A WRINKLE IN TIME is the book from my childhood/adolescence that stays with me the most; I have reread it often, as a teen and as an adult. I loved it and the first time I read it was the moment I figured out that things might be okay someday.

What do you use to mark your page when reading?
What do you use to mark your page when reading?
I have a big collection of book marks. Some old leather ones that my grandmother gave me, a fabric one that I love because one side is corduroy and one side is silk that a friend made, a metal Dr. Seuss plate that I got a children's books event, and sometimes I just shove post-it notes in between the pages.
