This week's Follow Friday question:
Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to an avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).
Hmmmm... this is a tough one! I have been an avid reader ever since I can remember, and I guess the book-- or the series actually-- that started my love for reading was Little House On the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. OH MY GOSH I was OBSESSED. I used to read the books all the time, watch the old TV series, my Grandma sewed me dresses and bonnets that I always used to wear... I even went to a summer camp thing at a one-room school house when I was 10 where we got to dress up and pretend to be characters from the 1800's! So, I wouldn't say this series changed my life or anything, but it definitely brings me back to some early, cherished memories of my first-loved books.
Definitely Fever by Lauren DeStefano. I LOVED Wither and I cannot wait to read the next in this series!!

hah aww that's super cute! I did kind of the same thing. I made my mom make me molasses cookies and I remember something about thimbles...I loved the "Little House in the Big Woods"...I think it was called...
ReplyDeleteI read the entire Little House series with my daughter when she was little and it is one of my most cherished memories from when she was young- great choice! I am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute. I never read the books, but my mom, sisters and I watched to show all the time when I was little.
ReplyDeleteHere is my FF:

New follower :) Little House on the Prairie is a great choice!! I don't really remember what it was about though, it's been so long ...
ReplyDelete(My #FF post if you are interested: http://skyink.net/?p=2520)
Never read Litte House on the Prairie but I did read Farm Boy or something like that and it was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday from Lydia @ Sensual Ride and my FF's at http://sensualride.blogspot.com/2011/08/friday-memes.html
I love the Little House books, but never got into Rose's series. Harry Potter has the awesome factor, but the series that got me into reading (and shows my age) is The Belgariad, by David Eddings. THAT series made me the reader I am.

FEVER is a great choice!

Although I didn't love WITHER, I definitely plan on reading FEVER. I'm hoping DeStefano fleshes out her dystopian world a lot more, since it really is a very intriguing idea.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found you via the Hop!
Just blogging by,and happy Friday!

Hopping through. I loved Little House. My dad and I read them together when I was 8 and now he loves the books too.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
I remember reading those books when I was younger too. I wonder if my mom still has them...
ReplyDeletehttp://plbjourney.blogspot.com/2011/08/follow-friday-again.html
I was completely obsesses with my answer too, which was Harry Potter! Me and my friends put up role plays and all, haha.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! I'm an old follower. :) My answer can be found here!
I read the Little House books like crazy as a kid too.
ReplyDeleteOne month and one day from today's hop, the book I'm highlighting comes out. Come see which book I'm talking about.
LC, hey there! I am such an LOTR movie nerd too. The extended editions are bomb-diggity!I've hosted a few marathon shin-digs, they were epic. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED, LOVED, Little House on the Prairie. I didn't read the books but I used to watch it when I was home "sick" from school all the time.
That is great you actually wore the the bonnets and dresses. Adorable.
I haven't read Wither yet but it's near the top of my TBR pile. I'be heard nothing but great things and I love the cover of both her books. Gorgeous. Have a wonderful weekend and I'm sure I'll be popping up around here soon, I'm sure
