I loved reading as a child and fell out of love with it when I started working all the time. It was a student (my blog baby) that rejuvenated my love for reading. :)Julie J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728211953393442724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931516312150222115.post-20347221885195269982009-09-15T17:05:55.318-05:002009-09-15T17:05:55.318-05:00Hi!

I have two kids of my own and I am so pleased that they both like to read for pleasure! I just think it helps broaden their worlds and sure helps with keep their brain synapses firing throughout the summer. <br /><br />I don't know if she would think she's too old for Collins Gregor series, but they're very good and not "girly"!holdenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563239351498816805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931516312150222115.post-31546433546053163442009-09-15T16:47:42.996-05:002009-09-15T16:47:42.996-05:00Thanks all for the positive comments.
Mary - my...Thanks all for the positive comments. <br /><br />Mary - my daughter had read Twilight repeatedly as well. I know exactly what you mean. I could see her being a writer, but she says no at this point. Who knows what she will do, but she will be reading for pleasure! So glad your daughter found the spark and her calling.<br /><br />Books can change lives! I have seen it.<br /><br />Tracy - if Miss B has the desire then it will eventually all come together. I saw her over the weekend shopping with her Nana (or does she say Nanny). Anyway, she was adorable and way less shy than in the past.<br /><br />Karen - Thanks!Alipet813https://www.blogger.com/profile/04408129438443562856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931516312150222115.post-10680733929983916592009-09-15T12:17:29.795-05:002009-09-15T12:17:29.795-05:00Allison, of course, I am excited that your daughte...Allison, of course, I am excited that your daughter has caught the "reading bug". :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931516312150222115.post-28620008891069004742009-09-15T08:26:07.571-05:002009-09-15T08:26:07.571-05:00This is my first comment on your blog but I just a...This is my first comment on your blog but I just added you to my reader so it won't be my last :)<br />My daughter struggled with reading in grade school - until I went to Ireland (ten years ago) and returned with a book for her - Harry Potter (The Philosopher's Stone - which was the British title for The Sorcerer's Stone). She was hooked immediately and collected the entire series and read each several times. Guess what - she went on to major in English and graduated with that degree a year ago. I credit finding just the right book when she was in middle school. She's still very selective about what she reads but she does read a wide variety of genres now. I'm so happy your daughter found the spark.Mary (Bookfan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00573126476574980169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931516312150222115.post-84620852746443998972009-09-15T07:42:35.655-05:002009-09-15T07:42:35.655-05:00Alison,

I am hoping that she will still be able to catch up and enjoy books as both her parents do! Hope you are coming tonight! Don't worry if you haven't finished the book!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668467884349104097noreply@blogger.com
