    my mom tried this on me when I was little, and then said no when I wanted to check out with ~10 books, I was so mad

      This is the one area where my mom really did great. Every week she’d rent 3-5 new books from the sci-fi section, I literally read 6 floor to ceiling shelves of books between 4-9th grade. I literally read or discarded every commonly released sci-fi book up to that point… It might’ve ruined my eyes, but it opened my mind

      (not like she was a bad mom, she had lots of love but terrible advice…)
