I was a prolific reader as a kid. Homeschooled, single mom who worked, so I would spend sometimes 6 or 7 hours a day at the library while she was at work. Once I went through the entire kids section, the librarian caught me in the adult section and I thought I'd be in trouble. Instead she showed me this collection of fairy tales that were dark and when my mom came to pick me up, she explained I'd been through everything and asked my mom to sign consent for an adult library card. Which she did, because my mom rocks. Lol. Only book she wouldn't let me read was the color purple when I was 10. Had to wait a bit for that. Lol.
