My Reading History

  • Dr. Seuss

    Dr. Seuss
    Dr.Seuss's books were the introduction to fun and exciting literature that propelled me into the interest of reading.
  • The Giving Tree

    The Giving Tree
    This is a book that I actually discovered young but became my favorite book of all time. The older I get, the more I interpret from it.
  • Amelia's Notebook

    Amelia's Notebook
    This book taught me to be expressive and helped me understand that everyone had different thoughts about things in life.
  • Goosebumps Chapter Books

    Goosebumps Chapter Books
    These chapter books really sparked an interest to me and I constantly would discuss endings and different points from the book with my peers. This was the type of book that had me discussing outcomes.
  • James and The Giant Peach

    James and The Giant Peach
    A work like this helped thrive my imagination and our teacher asked us to interpret what the characters looked like based on the descriptions and draw them. That really helped me imagine characters from then on.
  • The Hatchet

    The Hatchet
    This book taught me about a different genre of books and created an exciting need to search for different types of books.
  • Harry Potter Series

    Harry Potter Series
    These books (after being made into a movie) were fun for me to read and try to get ahead of the movies. It was such a cult classic that it was really fun to have a fandom that was widespread and I could talk to classmates about them.
  • Twilight Series

    Twilight Series
    This would be the first set of books that truly sent me into a reading frenzy. I liked to read before but was never consuming it with haste or waiting for the next book to arrive. These books really contributed to my excitement of series novels.
  • Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet
    Romeo and Juliet really was my most favorite classic and it is something I continue to enjoy. It also really fueled the ability for me to debate my thoughts about things and fuel discussions about interpretations.
  • 1984

    1984
    This was the first book that really was thought-provoking and left a lot to interpret and warranted opinions. Our teacher had us write an essay as to what it would have been like to live in this world which really made books and the events within them seem more real than ever.
