I am the first born child in my family and the first grandchild on my father's side.

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.

Our school had no kindergarten so I went straight to first grade. The book used for reading was Dick and Jane.
-
I got my first library card this year and won the summer reading award at the local library for reading 135 books.
-
My grandma supplied me with romance novels through my teenage years.
-
I read Gone with the Wind for the first time as an English assignment and became obsessed with the book.
-
I began reading to my son before he was born. According to Dr. Spock, this would help him recognize my voice.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I enrolled at Gainesville State College. Reading for pleasure days are few and far between!
