Bedtime Stories
When I was about 6 years old my mother would read me a story before I went to bed almost every night. I would ask for the same stories all the time. It got to the point I knew some of them by heart. -
Charlotte's Web
When I was in 3rd grade we read Charlotte's Web together as a class. We would popcorn read and that made me nervous sometimes but I still really enjoyed the book. After we finished I remember being excited for the next book. -
Boring Books
In 4th grade I don't even remember the books we read because I was so bored the whole time. I just sat there dozing off while my teacher read to us. We did not even get to read ourselves. Originally this is what made me not like reading for a while. -
Short Grade 6
Although my 6th grade year was cut short I still remember 2 of the books we read in class. At the beginning of the year we read a book called Nine, Ten which was a story about 9/11 which I found interesting. The second book we read was Freak The Mighty which was my favorite out of the 2. We ended up watching the movie right before we left for Covid. -
First Outside Book
7th grade is when I really read my first outside of school book on my own. I read Are You There God its me Margret. I remember I could not put it down and I feel as if it really sparked my love for reading. -
First Series Finished
During 8th grade we had to pick a book from the library to read. I ended up picking a random book with a pretty cover. I started reading and ended up loving it. I then sound out that book was a series so I then took out those books from the library. I think it took me about 2 weeks to finish the 5 book series which was called the selection. -
Another World
After that series I had realized that reading made me very happy. It was if I could live a thousand lives with just my own because I could transport myself through books. Reading makes me feel like I am in another reality. As if I am actually living along with the characters. It is my escape from reality. -
My Own Little Library
As of right now I so many books I probably could not remember all the names of the top of my head. So far I have so many books that I have a cart and baskets full of them. The decorate the little corner of my room which is also my favorite corner. This is because it is my little escape from reality. My little library isn't huge, but one day I hope to have a whole room filled with them, so I can say I've lived a thousand lives with just the one I had been given.
