HBO's True Blood is one of my all time favorite series, and Chris Bauer is a huge reason. Bauer plays Sheriff Andy Bellefleur on True Blood, and he just cracks me up. You also may have seen Chris in television shows such as Unforgettable, The Wire, and Third Watch. Also catch him on WE TV's The Divide. Bauer's movies include 8MM, The Devil's Advocate, and Snow White: A Tale of Terror.

Thank you, Chris, for promoting literacy with me!

What is Lena's all time favorite?
 Lena shares with Entertainment Weekly, "I love Lolita. I read it for the first time in fourth grade, because I was told that it had sexy parts...It has this incredible ability to flip the tables and remind you that characters are complex and humans are troubled."
