It was a spiral-bound notebook with light blue pages, with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger on the front. I must have been in about fourth grade or so when I started writing down the books that I read. Though I didn't understand it at the time, I was very much an introvert, and I was perfectly content to spend the majority of my free time reading books, even as the rest of my peers were playing sports or participating in extra activities.
