| Is the book that got you hooked on reading on the list? Mine isn't! Mine is Betsy Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace. Julie |

Tabby, You just reminded of a very treasured book. We did not buy books at home - we were on a tight budget and we used the library instead of buying books. But my oldest sister Terri was a goody-two-shoes from the get-go, and her teachers adored her. So her first grade teacher bought her a bok called Poems of Childhood. When I got old enough to read, I treasured that book so much. It was one of those big lap books, with thick covers and wide margins. Illustrations. I liked Eugene Fields poems the best. Wynken, Blinken and Nod one night ....... Remember? Julie |

Oh goodness. I've read every book on their list at least twice...lol... but none of them are the book that started me to reading. My parents bought me a huge book full of poems and fairytales the Christmas that I was in kindergarten and I enjoyed it but.... As weird as this is, the book that hooked me on reading was Robinson Crusoe. My aunt bought it for me one summer when I spent a few weeks at her house. It was the first book I ever owned all to myself. ~Marie |

I know what you mean, Marie, about that first book that you own. When my sister saw how much I loved her poetry book - she bought me one called This Way Delight. My godmother then bought me Anne of Green Gables. Both very treasured..... A kid with a whole book shelf could not possibly love books the way we did who had so few. Julie |

Being a pg group or g group can we mention Dean R. Koontz? If so.. well I am currently eating up his books. I recently read Cold Fire. It is so good. At least I thought so. Look forward to going to the library tomorrow.. hubby will not be at work and I can take the vehicle with the gas. LOL. Huggles.... Debra |
