Find out more about Danielle: Danielle Dreger-Babbitt has spent the last 13 years working in bookstores and libraries. She once got grounded for reading in elementary school (it was way past her bedtime). In 2007 she read nearly 200 books, but don't ask her what her favorite one was. Asking a librarian to pick her favorite book is like asking a mother to choose her favorite child. When Danielle isn't reading, she's beating her husband at Scrabble. She can be reached here. |
