So tell us your favs! Why are they your favs? How long have they been your favs for?! We’re excited to see!

Reading Rainbow was a TV show on PBS when I was a little girl. The show changed my life because it exposed me to a variety of things... for example claymation, music, dance, animals, space, books,etc...It made me curious and eager to explore all the different subjects the series showcased. It also changed my life because it cemented my my love of reading. I remember the show with Gilda Radnar reading "The Tortoise and the Hare." one of Aesop's Fables
Also loved the books, "Is This a House for a Hermit Crab." by Megan McDonald and "Alistair in Outer Space by Marilyn Sadler.

Then many books and years later, I saw Jeeves and Wooster TV series with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry on that same PBS station and fell head over heels in love with the characters and their stories. They made me laugh, they enriched my happiness at a time, I very much needed it. So, I wanted to know more about them so I began to read the P.G Wodehouse novels and short stories about Jeeves and Wooster. I also enjoy Blandings and Psmith. And so I fell into fandom and am still here and in other fandoms that also give me joy.
