Importance Of Writing My Book

When we were required to read books for school, other classmates complained about it, but it was one of my favorite parts of class. Even though I didn’t always like the books, I liked to read books that I wouldn’t have picked out to read. I liked being surprised when I enjoyed a book that I didn’t think I would like.

I was not always a fan of reading though. I blame this on the type of school teachers I have in my secondary level education. It was not until I got to community college where I began an appreciation for both reading and writing. The first book that grabbed me was The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, which is Walls’ memoir that focused on the events of growing up with her family that, at times, caused her to be homeless--among other harsh situations.

For as long as I can remember I was identified as a bookworm. I always accepted this title as a compliment no matter how people meant it. As I grew older, took more challenging courses, and participated in extracurriculars, my opportunities to read diminished. However, I never abandoned my passion for novels, bookstores, and libraries. As a freshman in high school, I joined the book club and now lead it with some friends. I strive to inspire others to appreciate the myriad of ways a book can serve us, and why I still love to read about anything and everything.

My experience with literature started when I was in the first grade. My first-grade teacher was named Ms. Young. Every Friday, all the teachers would come together to have story time and read the children a book. I would be so excited for story time because I would sit down with my best friends Ashley and Jordan, and we would listen to the teacher that was assigned to read to us. During story time, all the children would gather around in a big circle and the teacher would be in the center in a big brown rocking chair, and read. Over time in the school year, the children would read bigger and longer books like the Junie B. Jones series, chapter books, and the extreme level, which would be the Harry potter series. Sometimes I would fall asleep because the book that was read was very dull. I remember Ms. Young read to us the “Very Hungary Caterpillar”9 by Eric Carle. I loved that book as a child. It had great illustrations of the caterpillar turning into a butterfly. This book made me love reading for the rest of my life. Now in college, I love to read books. I only

I have always loved reading due to the exciting stories and the interesting characters that provide a good backbone. All my early books I remember as feel good tales to make the young reader fall in love with the characters while usually having a central theme to teach. Some of the charm of these books was how it got the reader engaged and taught along the way. Just like children shows such as Sesame Street the books where entertaining and also educational so it gave children a early start for school; I would be excited whenever the teacher would teach something and you would already know the new word or

I wouldn’t call my life very eventful, having always been the book kid I spent most of my free time in the early years of life reading. Ever since I was young I loved books before with that I even started school I could read, on the first day of school I remember carrying a Junie B Jones book about her first day at school. Growing up my book reading did lower but it never stopped. At recess in sixth grade before I had many friends to play with or hang out with I’d sit by myself under trees and read it was peaceful, along with that books themselves are amazing, I loved and still do love seeing new places just by checking out a book. It’s super cliché but that doesn’t stop it from being true. Books also provided an escape from most of my friendless younger years.

Books first impacted my life at the young age of 5, when I had first begun Kindergarten. Although I may have not been very good at reading, the pictures and words simultaneously intrigued me. I saw myself picking up a new book at every opportunity, and even begged my mom to take me to the library so I could check out as many books as my little arms could carry. Another thing that

I had a very fortuitous encounter. One day I was at the bookstore in the young adult section and a cover picture of a girl in a black dress crying caught my eye. The book was called Fallen by Lauren Kate, a romantic gothic themed story about fallen angels. It was the first novel I was not forced to read that I liked and finished. Ever since then I have been a zealous book reader and collector. I used to read about 100 pages an hour and about 3 or 5 books a week, give or take. On those days, I seldom came out of my room because I was so wrapped up in what I was reading. Books became a way for to connect to the outside world, especially because I was an isolated person, and to explore other places and worlds I'd never been to. It was a truly an amazing moment in my life. Eventually, I began to write stories of my

My mom had an addiction, she LOVED to read and collect books, we had the largest private library I can think of, over 1,500 books, all classics, philosophy, engineering and science titles. By age of 15 I already read all of them, just to mention some, that make great impression to

I'm not ashamed to admit that I am a bookworm. Being able to read books is an incredible part of life. Books help you escape reality. Books inspire you... especially memoirs. Memoirs, the life story of another individual, can inspire you to become a better person.

To most people, a significant other, a tragic event, or a loyal pet can change their life and affect them deeply. However, for me it has always been books. I have read many books throughout my life, some more or less significant than others. Various pieces of literature have made me laugh, cry, or have intrigued my adolescent mind. An author has a way to connect with someone in a way that no digital image can imitate.

Ever since I was little I’ve loved stories and reading. Something about reading was so wonderful, just being able to get lost in a story and letting your imagination run wild. I have many amazing memories of different stories and books. Everything from fairytales and folklore from around the world to Animal Farm. I’ve read a variety of different books.

I don't quite remember all the books in my lifetime, but I can clearly recall the books that totally made me who I am. Lonely bones by Alice Sebold, The giving tree by Shel Silverstein, and The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. Each book forcefully drawing me to reread and shed some tears. Being young when reading those books

When I was a younger I don’t remember if I was read to or not, but I read a lot of books. I enjoy reading books because they allow me to reach new heights in my imagination. At my age many kids say that reading is boring and is for losers. I think it’s cool to read and will continue to read throughout my life. I have read many different types of books from fiction to biographies. The longest book I ever read was a book called Dragon Rider by Cornella Funke. It was five hundred and thirty five pages! When it comes to reading I am a superstar! When I’m reading I am able to get a moral lesson from what I read, so it ends up helping me in the long run of my life

It wasn't until I joined the Bluebonnet Book Club in fifth grade that I discovered the beauty of reading a novel and discovering other worlds. From then on books inspired me to look forward to a new chapters in my own life.
