Hello Team TMNT. Stoping in from Team Peanuts


Memory •
One memory I have is of this particularly detestable teacher we had. She legitimately hated kids, but she used to read a chapter or two of a book to us each day. She had a knack of picking really good books, darn her. Anyway, she introduced me to the Redwall series by Brian Jacques and even though I'd been reading for years before then, that's when I actually got passionate about reading. Pity it was the worst teacher though.

I'm a chronic re-reader, though I kinda feel this is a bad thing. Often I lack inspiration on what to read next, so just go back to an old fave instead of broadening my horizons. That's why BOTM is so great.

I have no singular favourite book, but I'm a sucker for dystopia. Blind Faith by Ben Elton, Blindness by Jose Saramago, and Ready, Player One by zErnest Cline being some I can think of right now.

I can love something in most genres, but particularly dystopias and non-fiction that is written with wit and fascination. I can't really get into romances in a big way though unless there's something gritty and good to go along with the romance plot.

I have a couple of chronic illnesses which have meant multiple lengthy stays in hospital over the years. I'm only 27, but the first thing I pack each time is my kindle loaded with books. For me, there's something so comforting in having them with me. Unfortunately I'm also slowly losing my eye sight, which makes reading harder all the time. I've tried some audiobooks but find that the narrator can both make a rubbish book better and a good book intolerable (the game of thrones narrator!? What were they thinking -Khal Drogo sounds brain dead)

After my house was destroyed by fire last year (yay) I lost all my physical books and that probably sucked the hardest. I have about 10 books now, and am slowly accumulating e-books. But it's not quite the same as when you could display them, and one wou,d catch someone's eye as they visited, sparking discussion and sharing books.

Memory •
♥ I always loved reading. I was very proud of my reading ability when I was young. I remember reading chapter books, such as Black Beauty, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, and Watership Down when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. Around that time, we went to a fair. My brother and I had our caricatures drawn by some man there. He asked my brother what he liked to do and my brother said baseball or something like that. When he asked me, I said reading. I still remember that he asked me what else (and my memory says he made a bit of a face, but that could quite possibly be my memory playing tricks!) and I said just reading. He drew my caricature reading a book and the book was upside down! I was horrified! Who would read a book upside down? Was he implying that I would do something like that? That I couldn't really read and wouldn't know if a book was upside down? I felt like he had outright called me a dumb blonde. I remember being really upset about it. Apparently, I missed the point of the caricature and didn't see the humor in it. Strange the things we remember. Don't worry, though. I got over it! Lol

A few younger books I loved and read over & over were The Velveteen Rabbit, The Aristocats, and The Giving Tree.

Memory •
♥ My fondest reading memories involve my Granny. She would read a book every single day. Mostly romance novels. She could read so fast! She would take me to the used book store every week and buy me as many books as I wanted. Then she would take me to the mall and take me to all of the bookstores in the mall. Then we would go to Books-A-Million and then stop by Sam's Club to check out the books there. It was a full day event and we went every weekend when I was a child up through high school. It really cemented my love for reading and for books in general. When we weren't out buying books we were talking about them. I would hang out at her house and we would read our books, bake cookies, and chat about our books. We had so many inside jokes about the books that we read and we talked about them and laughed for years. I hope to be the same kind of grandmother and share my love of books with the ones that I love.
