Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
This was one of my favorite books when I was really little, I can remember repeating the tittle with my mom in the loft surounded by little books like this. -
Dr. Seuss
As many people in my generation, Dr. Seuss was a huge part of reading as a little kid! -
Chocolate Island
This was my appsolute favorite bedtime story ever. I begged my mom to read it every night! She eventually got very tired of it and would only read it when I had a nightmare, so I assosicate this book with comfort. -
Period: to
The Period of NO READING
This was when I began to learn how to read, I really struggled with reading because I would flip, and skip words, and mix up the letters. For a little while we thought I was dyslexic but it turns out I had an issue with my eyes tracking together. This made learning to read really difficult so for this period of time I honestly hated reading because it was so frustrating. -
Molly Moon
This was the longest book I had ever read at the time, and it was the book that got into reading, after that you couldnt get a book out of my hands! -
Nancy Drew
When I was in 5th grade, every week I would check out the maximum amount of books (2) in Nancy Drews. By the end of the year I had read every book in the series that our school library had! -
The Dark Side of Nowhere
This was the very first sci-fi book I ever read, after this book I was hooked and started broadening my horizons as a reader. -
Secrets of My Hollywood Life
This was a very girl book, but that was pretty much all I thought was "okay" to read. I didn't like trying new books, or new genres very much. -
The Uglies Series
I could not put these books down! I remember staying up late to read these books because I just had to know what happened next! -
Enders Game
I just adored this book! But, it was books like these other girls didn't care for, so I was always the only girl in my reading group! -
Surviving Antarctica
This was a book that I could litterally not put down, and another one I read with an all guy lit. circle! This book got me in trouble many nights because I stayed up late reading it! -
Little Women
My english teacher was amazing in 7th grade, she did a very one-on-one way of teaching, and in the last quarter she had sort of run out of things to throw at me so she asked me to read a classic. I really struggled getting into Little Women, and after an all weekend long reading marathon I was able to finish. But, I didnt like the ending, and I didnt ever really get into it. -
The Gallagher Girl Series
This was one of the few "girly" books that I actually liked after I got into sci-fi books -
The Host
This book was really intimidating to me because it was the heaviest, and thickest book I had ever read. I remember lugging it around school and people would asked me why I was carrying a dictionary! -
The Hunger Games
I really loved these book, I remember starting to read the series on a snow day, and finishin the whole trilogy before we came back to school a few days later. -
The Help
I really liked this book, it was a one of the few books I read last year because I was so busy! -
To Kill a Mockingbird
I loved this book! It was an assigned reading, I wound up finishing it way before I was supposed to, but I have always struggled with not reading ahead! -
Mao's Last Dancer
I had an assignment freshman year to read and present a non-fiction book. I decided to look through the best sellers on amazon in the non-fiction section, and found this book. I was hesitant at first, but I fell in love with this book. I got to learn about part of China's history, and a little about dance! -
Little Woman
I decided to try reading Little Woman again in freshman year when we had a classic reading assignment. This time it was completely different from when I read it in 7th grade! I fell in love with it! I also discovered there was a Little Woman musical made, and that really helped me to conect with the characters! -
Radiance
This was one of the few books that my mom told me to read, that I actually read! I was surprised how good it was, and wound up finishing it before her! -
Harry Potter
I had struggled a lot with reading right around the time the Harry Potter series started becoming popular, because they were so big, I was never attempted to read them, until this year. It was so cool because I got the chance to relive something I regretted missing as a little kid.
