Reading History Timeline

  • Cat in The Hat

    Cat in The Hat
    When I was 3-4 years old I remember Dr. Seuss books being some of the very first books my parents read to me.
  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    The Very Hungry Caterpillar
    The Very Hungry Caterpillar was one of the very first books I learned how to read on my own in Kindergarten and I had it memorized after reading it for so long I loved it!
  • Magic Treehouse Series

    Magic Treehouse Series
    All throughout second through about third grade I was obsessed with this book series, I think it sparked my interest for reading. I would read one of these books every night I loved them so much!
  • The Series of Unfortunate Events

    The Series of Unfortunate Events
    This was another book series I was in love with. I believe there were 13-14 books in the series and they were difficult to read at sometimes when I was in fourth and fifth grade.
  • Harry Potter (of course)

    Harry Potter (of course)
    All of my friends in middle school loved this series and I quickly became a fan of the books and movies. These books were challenging for me at first and were very lengthly but I really enjoyed them.
  • Twilight Series

    Twilight Series
    This was another series I was in love with in high school! I would stay up so late reading them and get the books right when they came out. All throughout school I have really enjoyed reading, as long as it was books I wasn't required to read.
  • Great Gatsby and Uncle Sam's Cabin

    Great Gatsby and Uncle Sam's Cabin
    When it came to reading the required texts in high school I was 100% un interested in all the texts assigned. Those included The Great Gatsby, Uncle Sam's Cabin, and To Kill A Mockingbird. I found them all boring and didn't enjoy reading them at all.
  • Freshman Year of College

    Freshman Year of College
    When I first entered college as a freshman I HATED all the assigned reading from our textbooks. To be honest I only did about 50% of the assigned textbook reading I disliked it so much.
  • ENG 450!!

    ENG 450!!
    In the fall semester at Nevada State I took an English class called ENG 450 and it was 20th Century Literature. Each week we were assigned a book to read which at first sounded like a lot of work I didn't want to do. But this was one of my favorite classes! My professor introduced me to such incredible books that made my love reading again!

    After taking that class in the Fall semester I have fallen back in love to reading on my free time. I try to go to the library twice a month and try to read at least 1-2 books a month as well. My favorite author right now is Toni Morrison.
