Yes, I've been playing Pokémon Go. My daughter talked me into it and now I might be hooked. So, of course I have to participate in the Pokémon Go Book Tag that was created by Aentee at Read at Midnight. My started for Pokémon was Squirtle because he is just so cute! Now I have all three, so I'm happy. I've loved reading since before I can remember. My mom tells stories about me following people around the house saying "rea" when I was a toddler.
