Reading History
Growing up my life was pretty boring because my mother was very strict. That meant I couldn't go anywhere or do anything. My past time after doing chores was reading. Whenever you miss me I was reading. I've always enjoyed novels that had a story line. One of the favorite books was "The Coldest Winter Ever" by Sista Soldier. It had a story line that you did not want to leave. It is my understanding that Will Smith bought the rights to the book. It will be interesting to see it evolve into a movie. I now enjoy reading elementary books with the youngest child. Those books always has a story line and a solution to whatever the problem may be. If a book is boring I will fall asleep. That means I will skim through it, not really reading it. My reading class with Mrs. Burris have kept my ears and eyes open. I hope to enrich my weakness with reading.

It sounds like reading has been pleasurable for you overall. I too enjoy children's books. They capture the imagination and have lots of happy endings. I assume you've always felt like a good reader. Is that true? You have to read a novel for the class final so start looking for a book. I think you would enjoy "The Help" by Katherine Stockett. If you saw the movie don't worry, the book has a lot more to offer than what was presented in the movie. It about 400 pages but it will hold your attention.
