Since Rosemary Knapp announced her retirement earlier this year, she’s been asked the following question more times then she can remember:“What are you going to do when you retire?”

And her answer?

"Whatever I want to: Travel, spend more time taking care of my grandson, exercise more regularly and read more grown-up books," Knapp said. "About 80 percent of my reading for the last several years has been young adult books. I'm looking forward to more grown-up books."
