Reading Autobiography

Books Of My Lifetime.

When I was little my family read to me all the time. Especially my Grandmother we read all kinds of books like The Bible Stories and she would read me Little Stuart books, Curious George, Dr.Seuss and my favorite books were Green eggs and ham and My loose tooth I loved the way my grandmother read to me because she made me feel like i was in the story and it was always full of excitement. She was the reason i read so much. Like my inspiration.


When I started reading on my own I was in the 5Th grade and i loved books with action and suspense. You would think a little girl that age and grade would be interested in something different. But I just wasn't I loved books that made you guess and wonder just what was coming next. When i got to middle school I read chapter books and novels like this book called Cirque Du Freak because it was sorta scary but interesting at the same time. Also I read Charlotte's Web and this medieval book named Mister B and many more.


The feeling I got when I read is like a joy because it takes you to your own little world. It feels like no one else is there or allowed your just real axed. And every time I got a new book I was excited because I couldn't wait to read it. It was just fun for me and it took me away when i was mad or sad and sometimes the books i read matched how i felt or had a pattern on what they were about. I used to think it was bad to read as much as i did because of some peoples opions but i realized i liked reading and it didn't matter what any one thought. So I continued.



My present reading habits have been like I would try to read 1 or 2 chapters a day. And sometimes it would get hard to stop but I stopped so that I would have that can't wait feeling when I read the next chapters. My reading teacher would tell me to slow down so that I could understand the book and I wouldn't be just reading and not know what I was reading about. but when the book is good you cant help it. But I took my teachers advice and the books got better and I could actually summarize my book.


I would have to say my grandmother turned me on to reading by the way she read to me. she read to me every night and when ever I asked so she read to me a lot. But my family kept it going with her by buying books and thing for me when ever they got the chance. My mom also helped she used to order the Disney books for us every time we would see them in the catalogs and stuff. Mt family was really helpful. I read so much that soon I could memorize what the book said. But I never got tired of them.


I got my books family members buying them for me when I was younger they came from my grandmother, aunt, cousins, and my mom so yeah I got books from every where. But when I got older Id borrow from my school library and go to book stores like borders and stuff. There was never a time that I couldn't get a book because we never ran out. And I loved it!!
