history of my reading

Read Are You My Mother? by Dr. Seuss
This is an estimation because my mom didn't write down when I first read! I am certain that this is the approximate time frame and the exact book. I am not sure why this book was so fascinating to me- I knew who my mother was- but I think it might have been the pictures and rhyming throughout the book. -
Entered school
Our school had no kindergarten so I went straight to first grade. The book used for reading was Dick and Jane. -
Won the summer reading award
I got my first library card this year and won the summer reading award at the local library for reading 135 books. -
Read my first Harlequin romance novel
My grandma supplied me with romance novels through my teenage years. -
Read Gone with the Wind for the first time
I read Gone with the Wind for the first time as an English assignment and became obsessed with the book. -
Began reading to my oldest son
I began reading to my son before he was born. According to Dr. Spock, this would help him recognize my voice. -
Began reading to my daughter
My son had responded well to literature. I assumed it was because I had read to him during my pregnantcy so I made sure to read to my daughter as well. -
Bought my 1st collector's copy of Gone with the Wind
I found a third printing of Gone with the Wind at a thrift shop. The owner didn't know what he had! The first copy of the book was printed in May of 1936; this copy was printed in September of 1936. -
Began reading to my youngest son
Third times a charm, or so I thought. Even though I read during my first two pregnantcies, neither of my older children had a love of reading. I had high hopes for this one, my last chance for success. -
