1. Tell us about what you loved to read as a child.
🍁 Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The BFG by Roald Dahl
🍁 The Richard Scary Books
🍁 Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne
🍁 Where's Waldo books
🍁 Dr. Seuss books
🍁 Peanuts and Garfield Comics
🍁 Mary-Kate and Ashley books- I was obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley. I read most of their books about their movies and tv shows.
🍁 Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
🍁 Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
🍁 Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
🍁 Trivia books
🍁 The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
🍁 Books about history, such as President books, learning about the states- I read a lot of books to learn about things. A lot of books with random facts.
🍁 The American Girl Doll books, specifically the Molly books- I loved American Girl and the dolls when I was around eight. That is when I asked for Molly for Christmas. I got her that year and also the books. I loved reading those books and read them over and over again.

2. What was the first adult fiction you tried to (or want to) read?
🍁 Probably The Time Traveler's Wife and all these years later it has become my favorite novel. It wasn't at the time, but it is now. I did love it then though.

3. What was the classic book that you read (not because of school)? 
🍁 I've read so many classics that were not for school and I still do even after I'm out of school. Some of them are The Great Gatsby, A Christmas Carol (I also read this as a child), Shakespeare's play (A Midsummer Night's Dream) and The Illiad. They are just some of the classic books I read that I didn't have to for school. I love them so much.

4. Tell us about a book that made you realize a new favorite genre or writing style. 
🍁  I have always loved fantasy books. The first books that got me into fantasy were The Chronicles of Naria series.

5. What was the first literary prize-winner that you read (or want to read)? 
🍁 I really don't have a clue. We read a lot of them when I was in school. I believe that Where the Red Fern Grows might have been one of the first. I read that in fourth grade. There are probably some before that but I really have no clue.

6. What was the first piece of translated fiction that you read (or want to read)? 
🍁 Inkheart by Cornelia Funke which was translated from German. I read it in ninth grade, I believe.  I plan on reading the rest of the series this year, which I decided to do at the beginning of the year. It will happen.
