The Cat in the Hat
One of the first books I remember reading around First Grade. It's a classic book with the use of repetition, rhyming, and onomatopoeia. -

Junie B. Jones Series
This was my favorite book series around the 2nd-3rd grade. My teachers all had class libraries and they would have this book, and I would always pick one from this series. I love Junie B. Jones character and her humor. -
Froggy Series
This was my all-time favorite series when I was younger. I think I had every book in the series. It created my love for reading. -
Goosebumps
This was a great series. This is another that I would rent from the teachers' library or read during my free time. They had lots of books in the series. The covers were always interesting to me! -
The Jolly Postman, or Other People’s Letters
This was a book I would frequently pick up. I had it at home and loved reading through it and it contained letters that you could take out of the envelope and read. It was like getting a letter in the mail. -
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Another series I thoroughly enjoyed. I read most of them in the series and I loved the movie. I loved books as a smaller child, but around 5th-6th grade, I liked reading again because of this series. -
Twilight
I read this in middle school. It's a part of another series that sparked my interest in reading. I enjoyed the whole series. -
Night
My favorite book ever. It tells the true-life of Elie Wiesel's trials and tribulations during the holocaust at Auschwitz. I read this in class, but made sure I had a personal copy after I finished it. -
The Hunger Games
We read this book in 11th grade. I really got into the book and ended up reading the others on my own. -
A Raisin in the Sun
We read this in 11th grade. We each had to take on a role and read it in front of the classroom. I enjoyed the plot of the book, it's very inspiring. I still enjoy the book and the movie that was filmed in 1961.
