Books I've Read Throughout the Years

...And what they taught me...


There were many that I read. 

Here are but a few that have always stuck out in my mind.

Little Toot
This is the first book I remember reading on my own.

(Taught me that reading can be FUN.)

Charlotte's Web

(Taught me to accept the sad times and cherish the happy times.)

Chief Black Hawk
(Taught me that books can enlighten as well as entertain.)

Then I got a little older.  (Think teens)

Lord of the Rings
(This is the series that ignited my imagination--for life!)

Then I grew up
(According to everyone but Mom.)

 Wheel of Time series

(Image isn't from the first book, but this one was my favorite.)

(This is the series that made me want to WRITE!)

Sword of Truth series

(Taught me that sometimes less is more.)

The Farseer Trilogy
(Taught me that even bittersweet endings can be good.)

There you have it.  Tolkien introduced me to a world beyond our own.  I went there and got lost.  I've never found my way back.
