Hale discusses her personal library. She states that when she thinks of her personal library, it is kind of all over the house. Her favorite reading spot is by her lamp made from books (yes, it works) and it is the coolest thing that she has bought from a thrift store. She comments that her love for reading started as a young child. Being the youngest, she was always reading. She would go to the bookmobile (this is a vehicle that came to the neighborhood with books for checkout). Having an opportunity to check books out in her neighborhood gave her no excuse not to read. She was always so excited on the days when the bookmobile was coming. She grew up in a small town with limited resources, so the bookmobile gave her something to look forward to.
