It is a book about the Holocaust. I had switch schools from a private school to a Catholic Schools my mom switch us because both schools were run by the Benidictine Nuns although these 2 schools were bitter rivals. To make a long story short I was put into a remedial reading class by my reading teacher. After my 1st remedial reading class the teacher called my mother and told her I was one of the best read students she had ever had. Needless to day my mom switch us to public school after I begged and begged to leave Saint Genevieve. After this my mom would go to library and have the librarian recommend books for me. I started helping in the school library in the 8th grade and continued through high school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182550340935477441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-9677883151725306712014-07-22T04:41:10.729-07:002014-07-22T04:41:10.729-07:00From the time I was 5 years old until I finished H...From the time I was 5 years old until I finished HS, I lived about 40 miles from where I took piano lessons. The trip involved a ride on the ferry to cross the Hampton Roads Bay. My wonderful mother would take me out of school at noon on Mondays & Thursdays, have lunch waiting in the car, and then all was quiet so I was free to read. One of my "jobs" was to get to the school library for a few minutes on those days to pick out a book to take on my journey!<br /><br />pianogirl88<br />abusybee88@yahoo.compianogirl88https://www.blogger.com/profile/09170899576277470371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-30658796154068540522014-07-22T02:59:26.883-07:002014-07-22T02:59:26.883-07:00The one that made the biggest impression on me was...The one that made the biggest impression on me was my first mystery book, the very first Trixie Belden book. My stepmother had gone out shopping and this is the first book I ever remember her buying for me.

Growing up I read the Bobbsey Twins, the Boxcar Children, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. As I got older, I turned to the Little House Series (still have the books) and Anne of Green Gables. I always dreamed as Anne did, to meet the love of my life and a family. Unhappily that never happened to me. As an adult I read John Grishom and and the like. After 9/11 I wanted a lighter read, so turned to Debbie Macomber and others like her then I was introduced to cozy mysteries and the rest is history. Books, books everywhere and I wouldn't have it any other way<br />Becky PrazakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-4125585738581774972014-07-21T16:05:00.344-07:002014-07-21T16:05:00.344-07:00I think the one book that made a difference would ...I think the one book that made a difference would be Secret of the Old Clock or any Nancy Drew Mystery.

The ones that really impressed me were Exodus and Hawaii----so then I looked for all those long sagas to read for quite some time.<br />suefarrell.farrell@gmail.comSue Farrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-90175873297132936932014-07-21T14:08:24.141-07:002014-07-21T14:08:24.141-07:00I remember loving the Boxcar Children and the Bobb...I remember loving the Boxcar Children and the Bobbsey Twins.girlygirlhoosier52https://www.blogger.com/profile/12253919063849062372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-56973641317991684712014-07-21T13:42:31.130-07:002014-07-21T13:42:31.130-07:00With me it would have to be Gone With the Wind, be...With me it would have to be Gone With the Wind, because it was the book that really got me started reading in my teen years.<br /><br />quiltlady110 at gmail dot comQuilt Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958381203753210051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-91980204533958331942014-07-21T13:30:11.858-07:002014-07-21T13:30:11.858-07:00Wow, there are so many, I don't know that I ca...Wow, there are so many, I don't know that I can choose. I started reading at four, and lived across the street from a library, so I had my nose in a book all the time. I would say some of my favorites as a child were the Little House on the Prairie series, the Beverly Cleary Ramona books, as well as Judy Blume. Just to name a few. :-)Dawn Fraziernoreply@blogger.com
