It makes reading and taking in information a lot quicker. It can be exciting to see the story move along so fast. mjones1140 https://padlet.com/mjones1140/qmnpimpd25cmvwwq/wish/807589285 2020-10-06 17:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones1140/qmnpimpd25cmvwwq/wish/807589285 At times, I feel like my imagination has been disabled. Books give me descriptions that I can use to create characters and places in my mind.
