To me, this quote speaks the truth of reading for me and countless others. I have always be an avid reader for along as I can remember, and I can leave the house without a book. However, my love of books need to start somewhere and with development in the love people can always find hardship. Now let me tell you about my love story with books. When
Piles of books were being displayed on the front lawn and being sold for ten cents for anyone at the garage sale. At the age of nine instead of running towards the dolls, I ran to the books. While my mother spent time looking around, I rummaged through the books to find any book that peaked my interested. From that moment and on, my love for books grew. Many of my fondest memories is going to garage sales or even if my parents wanted to spoil me, a book store. During my middle school years, I began
old. I am no different from other kids. I remember my mother buying me a set of books for my beginner’s mind. I also remember being somewhat nervous. My journey into the big world of the written word was relatively successful, but it definitely did not come without its share of struggles. It did, however, cement my love for words, books, and writing! As I said in my introduction, I remember my mother buying me a set of little books to help me to get started. I even remember what they
remember, I have been in love with books. I would stay up into the late hours of the night because I could not handle going to bed not knowing how a story would end. Being surrounded by piles of books was my version of heaven. I have my mother to thank for this obsession with reading. As a little girl, she always read to me at night, and when I reached a certain age the roles reversed. She listened to me stumble through the simplest words in endless amounts of Junie B Jones books. I could imagine she
Piles of books that were laced so thickly with dust were being displayed at a garage sale with a sign that read, “25 cents for any book.” At the prime age of nine instead of running towards the box filled with dolls, I ran to the books that were next them. My eyes lit up and I rummaged with so much content that the lady who was running the garage sale let me have 6 books for a dollar. From that moment and on, my love for books only grew. The best memory is when it would be my birthday and all I wished
I am four years old and my father is walking towards me holding a book. He has dark brown hair with gray streaks and blue eyes. He is wearing blue scrubs, as he usually does, because he happens to be an electrophysiologist (a type of doctor that fixes heart rhythms). He picks me up, sits down, and places me in his lap. He begins to read Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham to me, giving each character their own voice (which he did with every book that he read to me) as I look at the colorful pages. I later
My love of books and language began in an unexpected way. When I was eight years old, my sister and I switched rooms, and I was given the larger one. In revenge, my sister convinced my parents to use this room as the family library. At the time I was furious at the thought of books taking the place of my doll collection and having to move my stuffed animals to the attic. But I soon grew accustomed to falling asleep facing a wall of novels arranged in alphabetical order. And when I could not fall

fascinated with the way reading a book felt like you were watching television in your head. The amount of detail that was spread across the pages allowed me to use my imagination and dive right into the chapters. I was hooked from the moment I read my first book, and ever since then, I have wanted to not only read stories but also one day create my own. As I got older and started to decide what types of authors and books I liked to read, I focused on the writing styles that my favourite authors had. These

Coming up with heartfelt, unique, and classy gift proved to be more difficult than I originally imagined. The deadline for giving the gifts felt closer to me than the weeks, if not longer off, which separated the worry and the day. I continued to be completely stunned, until, in my creative writing class
