I don’t participate in a student social network (because my students are too young), but I do have a twitter account. Follow me on twitter: Ms.Bunz'sBookBuzz

I work in PK I use puppets and classroom theater to enhance their learning and allow them to participate. We take turns reading stories by looking at pictures. I don’t want them to just read or listen to the story, I want them to become immersed in the story. Even if they struggle to read, they will learn to experience the joy of reading--just as I did. It is my single most passion in the world to excite children about literature (especially, those who swear they hate books).

I remember the first time I  picked up Flowers in the Attic, by V.C.Andrews. I thought the book was so scary looking. My BFF's father told me it was a book of the devil. (I wanted to really read it now!) I couldn't wait to look into that window and see why the blonde hair girl looked so scared.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_in_the_Attic

As an adult, do you enjoy reading? I truly enjoy reading as an adult. I’ve learned to overcome my reading disability. I now lean more towards biographies or autobiographies, as I am fascinated with people’s “journey”. I just finished Becoming Michelle Obama. Stephen King’s On Writing is always within arm's reach. I have to admit, I love middle grade books! Partly, because I believe their are some very talented middle grade authors out there right now, and partly because I one day hope to write a middle grade book. https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Michelle-Obama/dp/1524763136

I remember my older sister speaking fondly of her, but she and I never officially met. It wasn't until high school in the girls' locker room that I saw the book in a friend's bag. She asked me, "You like never heard of Judy Blume? Are you like mental or something? Everyone knows who she is!" I quickly met Judy Blume and tried to read every book she made. My fave?  Are you there God it's me, Margaret. https://earlybirdbooks.com/the-re-read-are-you-there-god-its-me-margaret

I fell in love with the darker books--horror and suspense. Stephen King was my hero (and still is) Carrie and Pet Sematary were my favorite books--I often tried to write in King's style. The dialogue in the books kept me glued to each page. He truly is the King of story telling. My second love was Alice Walker's, The Color Purple I read this book about 100 time almost as many times as I've seen the movie. https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Pet-Sematary/Stephen-King/9780743412278

Other books that I enjoyed were Wison Rawls’s, Where the Red Fern Grows and John Steinbeck’s, The Red Pony. Admittedly, it's because we were forced to read it--but boy, was I happy we were reading about dogs and horses! Still some of my favorite books today.https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=18564409532

I loved when my teacher read us Little House in the Big Woods. Immediately I had to get every Laura Ingall’s Wilder book (even if I did struggled to read). The big woods was a place that I dreamt of escaping to with Pete, my dog, acting as Jack. I could taste the candy cane that Mr. Edward's brought Laura. After reading By the Shores of Silver Lake, I soon received my own horse. It wasn't long before Champ and I were raising through our own fields.

I hated to read. The irony is that I loved books! In fact, I often would ask for books that I couldn’t read. I preferred books that were enhanced with a few pictures. I loved books with illustrations at the beginning or especially at the end of chapters.  It was a treat to find a little illustration of a castle, or map at the end of every chapter. It was my own secret reward system. My first book that I finished in its entirety was Das Doppelte Lottchen by Erich Kastner. I was a stronger reader in my native language (German). https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/LottieAndLisa

Bedtime was my favorite time because I wasn’t forced to read aloud. My mom read to me. I could listen to her for hours! She was so animated, and could do every accent in the world! Her Italian accent was the best. http://www.clipartguide.com/_pages/0511-0904-1320-0143.html

The library was always a haven for me, as was art class. Struggling with dyslexia (undiagnosed at the time), I never felt comfortable reading aloud, but I knew I could find a quiet place in the corner. Ms. Kauffman, the librarian, would walk over to me with her Hush Puppy shoes silently squishing across the floor, she showed me how to read by looking at pictures. I loved books because of her! I would escape into books--especially if they had lots of pictures. I wished I new about graphic novels back then! http://clipart-library.com/clipart/LcdjGExgi.htm
