Vestavia, Alabama

Hi! I’m Anna Kate from Alabama and I am a junior in high school. I fell in love with reading after starting the Harry Potter series in the fourth grade and haven’t stopped loving it since! I spend most of my time around books; whether it is reading for pleasure, volunteering at the library or directing/participating in book groups, I tend to seek out activities that place me around literature. For me, reading has always been a way to understand people and situations that I otherwise would not be able to and has opened my mind to many different issues. Outside of reading and when I’m not doing homework, I spend my time traveling around the South to watch Alabama football (RTR), debating on my high school's team and finding the best ice cream in town.
