Have you guys had a series or book that really impacted you or shaped your childhood? I was thinking about this the other day as I’m rereading the Harry Potter series and am curious if anyone else has had a similar IMPACTING book/series. The series that shaped my childhood and is still a force in my life, to this day, is the Harry Potter series. This series is so much more than a children’s series. No. It speaks of friendships and […]
