First Birthday: Precious Moments Through the Year Stories
For my first birthday my grandma gave me this book. It is a large book full of stories for every month. I remember my mom and I would read this everynight before bed. I loved looking at all the pictures and the stories were always interesting and fun to listen to and read. -

Second Grade: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
In second grade I chose to read the first Harry Potter book. Those books are HUGE. It took me the whole school year to read the book. This was the first book I actually struggled with. However, I did finish it completely with help from my teacher. Towards the end of the school day the teacher would give me time to go out into the hall and she would help me read the book. With her help i acomplished reading my biggest book. -
Elementary School: Reading Counts
Reading Counts was one of the only reasons I read so much in elementary school. My firends and I used to have contests on who could get the highest amount of points. There were also prizes in my class for students with the highest amount of points. THe harder the book, the more points it was worth. It pushed me to read more difficult books, which in end made me a better reader. -
Fourth Grade: Magic Tree House
The Magic Tree House was one of the first series of books where i continued to read one book after another. I continued to be interested in the series. I was never not interested in picking up a Magic Tree House book. -
The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
These books were the first series of books I chose to buy outside of school related stories. I never bought books because I didn't really read them. However, this series is the first series I bought and read all of them out of pure pleasure of reading. -
Danielle Steel
Danielle Steel is an author that has traveled through generations in my family. It was my grandma's favorite author, then my mother's, and she has passed on the books to me. I have only read a few, but I am looking foreward to having the free time to read more. -
