Re: Wacky Wednesday Poll
1. My dad was in the Navy, so until 1st grade I was all over the place. Then I grew up in northern Minnesota.
2. I have always been a reader. My whole family loves to read. We would all sit in the same room and quietly read. It was just what you did.
3. My family - and I love to see it pass on to the next generation. Most of my nieces and nephews love to read as well. I usually give books as gifts.
2) Have you always been a reader? Yup, always. My mom started teaching me to read because I didn't want to wait until kindergarten lol! And I started reading under the covers with a flashlight at night when I was pretty young. My parents also had to make a rule that I couldn't read at the dinner table.
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? I think my mom really encouraged it because she's a reader, though I'm the only one of my siblings who is a reader. She also used to take us to the library really frequently when we were young.
1) Where did you grow up? Northern Manitoba
2) Have you always been a reader? Yes! I remember sneakily reading my Baby Sitters Club books while the teacher was teaching in grade 4.
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? I have no idea. My mom reads quite a bit but I don't really remember if she was back then or not.
2) Have you always been a reader? I can remember learning to read when I was 4 or 5. I know it was kindergarten at least and I started young. I was the kid walking around with her nose in a book and running into things. I can't tell you how many books got wet because I would read in the bathtub.
2) Have you always been a reader? Yep. I can't remember a time I didn't like reading.
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? My mom used to take us to the library a lot when I was a kid. I have several family members that like to read too. I think it also has to do with the fact that I was a tad socially awkward when I was younger. I liked learning and reading was an escape from being uncool lol.
2) Have you always been a reader? Definitely when I was in elementary school and middle school. Got away from it in high school and college. Then got back into it several years ago.
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? Probably from being shy and introverted! My mom would take me to the library and later on to the bookstore- I loved that.
2) Have you always been a reader? Yes
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? Being read out loud to every day as a child
2) Have you always been a reader? Yes
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? Both of my parents are readers, but I think my mom gets the credit for encouraging my imagination and love of reading. In my tween years I remember saving up all of my allowance until our trips to the book store and spending it on Christopher Pike books.
2) Have you always been a reader? Yep!
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? My mom. She always has a book with her and made sure to take my brother and me on lots of trips to the local library
2) Have you always been a reader? -- yes
3) Where do you think your love of reading came from? -- my parents always had a book, even when we went out to dinner, they had a book; Dad brought a book to the movies, to my brother's track meets, everywhere. My mother's purse was always large enough to pop her book and Dad's in it. My parents were readers and we grew up reading. My parents' personal library was better than out local one.
