I...I think I've loved books since I was a baby. I still have some of my favorite first books - the ones I learned to "read" by memorizing the story. My niece was a reluctant reader until we discovered the Gateway Chronicles by KB Hoyle. We couldn't read them to her fast enough so she started reading them herself. And then she couldn't put a book down. I sent her two big books for her birthday which she got on Friday. I told that I was glad they came in time for the weekend so she could maybe read one. She assured me they would both be done before the end of the weekend. <a href="http://www.girl-who-reads.com/2017/04/tackling-tbr-pile-atozchallenge.html" rel="nofollow">Girl Who Reads</a>Girl Who Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567066995224650190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-44558918966629498452017-04-24T13:30:26.164-06:002017-04-24T13:30:26.164-06:00The first book that really stuck with me was The H...The first book that really stuck with me was The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I read it when I was six and fell in love with the world and the sense of adventure. I suspect that the games I tended to play for a while after that had a lot of dragons and adventures in them!<br /><br />Cait @ <a href="http://clicks-clan.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Click's Clan</a>Clickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478761820331036869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-64289583031441206812017-04-24T10:47:11.976-06:002017-04-24T10:47:11.976-06:00I honestly don't remember anything from childh...I honestly don't remember anything from childhood.

A middle school teacher picked up on my love of horses to get me reading Walter Farley, Marguerite Henry, Patsy Grey and other horse-centric stuff. <br /><br />The first book I remember loving deeply was A Wrinkle in Time. I felt like it so "got" the feeling of being a brainy weirdo who didn't fit in socially and longed for something more than the petty concerns and squabbles of middle school. <br /><br />http://laurelgarver.blogspot.com/2017/04/t-thankful.htmlLaurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-6613164873696287722017-04-24T07:54:41.119-06:002017-04-24T07:54:41.119-06:00Wow, it's awesome that you still remember the ...Wow, it's awesome that you still remember the books that made you love books and reading. I, unfortunately, cannot remember my favorite childhood books. I do remember that I loved graphic books when I was in Junior high school. <br />Anyway, I love this challenge.
