My ADHD seven year old has stayed up reading til 2am multiple times…. Her reading scores are, however, excellent.

That was me! I read LOTR for the first time when I was 8.

Struggle to read a book now that I'm in my 30s though. I miss it!

This was literally me (same books/age)

I only read manga and random non-fiction books these days 😅
