My Reading History

I have seen these videos being made on Book Tube and I thought I would tell you about my Reading History. My Parents used to tell me I used to sit on the Potty and picked up a magazine and just babbled but of course I don't remember that (embarrassing bit over lol) i have memories of going down to Wimborne Libray and Picking out books like Mog,Tiger Who came to tea and Hairy Mcclary books Which I loved as a kid. I loved the Dr Seuss books and Green eggs and Ham was my personal fave along with the cat in the hat 1 fish 2 fish among others. I also loved going to my grandparents house my granny used to read us the Jolly Postman and the Jolly Christmas post man I loved those books as they had secret letters to people you could read and my grandparents introduced me to Authors like Dr Seuss Allan and Janet Alberg and of course Peter Rabbit and Barbar My grandparents had such an awesome book collection. I also have a vivid memory of reading the very Hungry Caterpillar as well among other picture books i liked was Titch, Were Wally and we are going on a bear hunt i hated the bit were they find the bear. At Primary school all my friends were reading the Animal Ark stories by Lucy Daniels I read them too and everyone in my class seemed to want a story for Xmas or birthday and I used to love reading about the animals in those books and I had a few which I did enjoyed I was hooked on Jacqueline Wilson books she had a way of writing tough subjects for kids like Divorce Adoption and death but in a light hearted way I love her chractures like Tracy and Mac and Lottie and aged 25 i still read her books from the library. Primary school had a reading scheme well sort of to get you reading they had the Magic Key books by Oxford tree and i loved Biff Chip and Kipper and also Floppy the dog they had great adventures with a magic key and they went in stages and I used to get so excited when I got told by my teacher that I reached the more advance stage. I have a picture of me at Christmas holding up the first book in the Worst Witch series so proud to receive that book in my Christmas stocking. My first memory I think of reading a book on my own was Matalida and then Charlie and the chocolate factory and George's marvelous medicine  oh and Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dhal my reading excelled from then he sparked my imagination like no other and then there was the Butterfly lion and Why the Whales came by Michael Murpurgo Oh my that man can tug on my heart strings and he did I love his writing style and once I read books from those authors it was very difficult for me to find books that could get that standard of writing until one day i was sitting with my other classmates before the end of the day at school and my teacher read a chapter of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets i fell in love with the whole Concept of Harry Potter the plot the world it was just everything I could wish for I didn't relise that there was a firs book before chamber of secrets and my parents got me the first three books and the rest as they say was deffiantly History. Harry Potter stayed all the way up until Secondary school when the last book came out it had a huge impact on how I read it was the first series i buddy read with friends with and the first series I actually pre-ordered each book from waterstones as they came out the last book after i finished reading it was deffiantly the end of an era and i still have my books on my shelf. At secondary school I go introduced to a lot of fantastic books i had to read for GCSE these included hound of the baskervilles, Romeo and Juliet, Great Expectations and my fave book from having to read for school of Mice and Men. My love of classics was always there I read black beauty and what Katy did next and i loved Jane Austen books my parents gave me all of Jane Austen books for my 16th birthday and from then on I loved the world and the language of Jane Austen TV also influenced my love of classics The BBC did great adaptations of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen work I read Tess of the Durbervilles and just got the story straight away reading classics for me gives you a great insight what life was like in those days girls never really got a good look in but the Classics still have a place in today's world. My friends also played a big part in what i read my friend bexs introduced me to The Alex Rider series and i fell in love with the whole spy world and having gadgets like a game boy disguised as something was a brilliant concept and Alex rider was my first book boyfriend My friend Sarah introduced me to the fabulous yet dark series of the Noughts and Crosses world that gave me a different take on the whole Race topic and switched it round. At School I read the Curios incident of the dog in the night time we had to read different books and choose wich book would get an award I loved the book and the charcture his traits reminded me of mine I have Aspergers and at the time I didn't know I had it and I connected with this charcture and reading it now I can still connect with this charcture as I have the same condition mentioned in the book. During collage and leaving school I didn't really read as much a thing called life got in the way but it didn't mean I stopped reading it just ment it was in the background untill I started my book tube channel and my Blog that my reading is taking over again and i am reading even more books its is a real escapism for me and I just love to read my Reading History will still carry on and I hope I will still read until the day I die.
