My reading past and present


The very first book I read was The Bear, the Bug, and the Boy go for a ride...lol. I started reading when I was 4 years old. My mom taught me...it was sorta like "preschool" for me since I didn't actually go to preschool. I have always loved reading. I like reading big books because it feels like a challenge to me. I used to read books like Nancy Drew Notebooks, but now I like reading books like Eragon and Eldest (bigger books). The genres I like to read are Mystery, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and occasionally Non-Fiction. I know this blog is supposed to be only about me, but I just wanted to mention that my uncle Jacob (13) memorized the whole book of Jonah (but it was a rhyme bible so that is probably easy). My favorite book is The Tattooed Rats which is in the Renegade Series...the funny thing is that I waited for like forever for the other 2 to come out but it ended up that they were already out...LOL

I didn't go to preschool either and I feel the same way, bigger books equal bigger challenges. lol

Great job posting the picture. I think that a little visual really adds something to the blogs! You seem to enjoy a wide variety of genres, which is a great way to learn new things (without really trying!). it sounds like you have some fond memories of reading with your mom; I think that it is so important for parents to read to/with their children; the sooner you start the sooner they will learn to love it! I am impressed that your uncle was able to memorize the whole book of Jonah-rhyming or not! Have you tried to do the same? I look forward to reading your future posts about what you're reading! Thanks for sharing!
