In my house we couldn’t afford to buy books. Our school library didn’t let you check out any books until you were in fifth grade. My mom couldn’t read well she was blind in one eye also she didn’t go to school so every night we all went to her room and listen to her made up stories.
We didn’t need to have books her stories that include princesses, animals, mystery, and even stories about her as a child were fascinating. She was creative and talented to tell her stories that she may have been a writer, but she never dared to write anything.
It’s until I went to the High School, which interested me to read a novel called “Maria” by Jorge Isaac. I immediately fell in love with the book and its characters. I’ve a copy on my bookshelf.
The love I feel for reading I owe to my mother who every night with her stories took us to a world of fantasy.

my 6th grade teacher read from the Hobbit to us on our lunch hour – it was the first time I fell in love with a story (and of course, there wasn’t time in the school year @ an hour a day to get through the whole book) and had the cliff hanger of what happened next when summer came, so that book went on my birthday list and I still have that book!

I love the Hobbit, however I discovered this book when my son got it in school in 6th grade. I still has his book.
