My Mom
As a kid I was forced to read all the time by my mom and without her doing that I don't think I would've found my love for reading. -
Dr. Seuss's ABC
I loved this kid as a book and have it saved away for my kids one day. -
Paddington
This was the book that I read to my little brothers almost every night. They loved it and it helped me in reading. -
The Glass Castle
During Sophomore year, I had a different english teacher than more of my friends and they all were assigned to read this book. They all hated it and I wanted to see why. It ended up being my favorite book and I ended up reading all of the books written by the author. -
The Great Gatsby
This book I have read over and over again and inspired me to read more. I was introduced to this book in Junior year of high school. -
Mrs. Penrod
This was the English teacher that introduced us to The Great Gatsby. The projects she gave us for all of that year really helped my understanding of the books. I really feel like I wouldn't have read as much had I not been in her class. -
How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
In Senior year, we had a project and this book was the book we had to study and I realized and learned the deeper meaning of children's books.
