The story behind Bookish Bovine
Reading and writing was not a staple in my life until I got into trouble in elementary school. I got into trouble one day and it must’ve been big trouble because they put me in the school library for recess for a long time. I’m not sure how long it really was, but it was long enough for me to fall in love with reading books.
I loved discovering different worlds, seeing things through different perspectives, being in the shoes of different people or animals, even. From Black Beauty to a story about neighborhood cats going about their day with the humans around them oblivious to their goings-on, I loved it all.
And it made me want to create my own stories as well.
