April 18- Make up blog

 From the time that I was really young, I have always been a pretty big reader. It all actually started when I was in preschool and my family read me a book so many times that I memorized it (it was that “brown bear” picture book, so it wasn’t that difficult to memorize). What really got me into reading where the “Little House on the Prairie” books. I remember borrowing them either from the library or my elementary school teacher so many times. I read and reread them each so many times that I couldn’t keep track of it.

Then in middle school, I read all of the “Harry Potter” books. While I had read a lot of other books, these were the ones that I enjoyed as much as the “Little House” books.

            The books that I read in high school that really impacted me were John Green’s books. I first read Looking For Alaska right before I began high school. I remember this book having a really strong impact on me. The way it is written is just really amazing and I think that it can appeal to all types of audiences. After reading that book, I read his other two books that were out and ended up getting to meet him in 2010. In the beginning of last year, I read his newest book, The Fault in Our Stars, and it had the same impact that Looking For Alaska had on me. From the books I have read in high school, John Green’s books are the ones that have really stood out.
