For as long as I can remember, I read. Mostly stories about horses and dogs. Total animal lover here! Then I progressed to Science Fiction and Fantasy. Life happened. College and work interferred with the quantity I read for a while. Until I became a Paramedic/Firefighter. Note here, it's not all as the profession is depicted on TV. There's down time. Time to read! And I did! Three books a week entered my growing repertoire. I was still reading SF and F. I added thrillers, crime stories, paranormal, and mystery.
