Q&U: Your first favorite book.

In third grade, I read "A Wrinkle in Time" twice! I loved the time travel aspect and I identified with Meg, the main character.

My favorite book as a child was "Harold and the Purple Crayon." I loved the idea of being able to draw the world they way I wanted and no one telling me different. I did it as a project for school once and it just seemed to stick with me.

"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is the first book I remember reading cover to cover. My first-grade teacher started reading it aloud to us on the first day of school and I loved it so much that I ended up reading it myself before she finished, followed by the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia. It completely captivated me & I've been a voracious reader ever since.

Black Beauty. I could NOT stop reading, so there I was, under the blankets with a flashlight at some weird hour of the night, when Ginger died. My sobbing woke my parents, who thought something bad had happened. Of course, it had. I mean, geez, Ginger *died.* We were still on Okinawa, then, so I was somewhere between 7 and 8 years old.

A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. It was also my first overdue library book because it took a little longer than usual to read! I'm still a Jules Verne fan in adulthood.

The first "big" book I read on my own was "Gone with the Wind" when I was 11. I was curious about it because my mom read it and once I started reading it, I remember thinking how different the times and people in the story were from my life.

Wow, I'm such a "soiled dove" of books that I can't remember my first. Probably fairy tales. I do remember loving "Wuthering Heights" in junior high and crying each of the four times I read it.

I think the first books I remember reading out loud with my mom were Robert McCloskey's "Blueberries for Sal," and "One Morning in Maine." For a long time as well, the pre-bedtime read-aloud choice by my brother and I was the "Little House" series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Once I discovered the library, there was no keeping track of me! But I do remember Stevenson's "Treasure Island" being the first classic I read and re-read on my own.
