Despite my love for the book, I honestly couldn't remember anything about it other than the title. However, after googling it I was excited to see Netflix had recently made it into a movie. ]]> 2023-03-14 23:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516845328 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516907305 The Harry Potter series was the first series of books I read by myself. After my mother read the first book to me, I remember asking her if I could read the second one on my own. At first she was offended because she though I didn't like her reading to me, but it was actually just because I wanted to read them faster and stay up later than I could if she was reading. I placed the sixth book cover on here because that was my favorite the first time I read the series. ]]> 2023-03-15 00:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516907305 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516914612 The book series Animorphs captivated my interests for a long time. Between fourth and fifth grade I read 54 books in the series. The first two or three books were in my elementary school library which I quickly read and then wanted more. Happy they had a way to keep me occupied, my parents sought out the rest of the series online and at one point I had every book in the series in my room.]]> 2023-03-15 00:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516914612 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516919004 I picked up the first Percy Jackson book in my fifth grade classroom from our mini-library within our class. I remember a number of my friends had read it and liked it which for some reason made me adverse to reading it. However, once I did I was instantly hooked. Like many other children in America I quickly became obsessed with the series and thought I was an expert on Greek mythology.]]> 2023-03-15 00:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516919004 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516931496 The sequel to the Percy Jackson Series, the Heroes of Olympus series quickly grabbed my attention. These books were very welcome as they came at the perfect time. Rick Riordan released books that aged up the characters as I was also aging out of the original series and was easily drawn to the new content.]]> 2023-03-15 01:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516931496 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516935218 These books were among my earliest reads as a child. While not a series I ever revisited or hold especially dear, they were instrumental in my growing interest in history.]]> 2023-03-15 01:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516935218 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516951463 This was a shorter book series that I read in middle school. The series very much had Sherlock Holmes meets science fiction feel to it that was very different than other books I had read prior to this.]]> 2023-03-15 01:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516951463 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516956468 The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series was hugely popular when I was in elementary school. At my elementary school it was almost a matter of social status if you had read them and what book you were on. I read the first five books and even had a spin off version marketed as a "write it yourself" book.]]> 2023-03-15 01:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516956468 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516962097 I can't remember the age I read Tom Sawyer, but I do recall it being the first book I ever struggled to read. The old time southern language spoken by every character made it difficult to comprehend what I was reading most of the time. Once I started to get the hang of it, it became one of my favorite books.]]> 2023-03-15 01:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516962097 tul23576 https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516968033 Like most people I discovered the Hunger Games books through the trailer for the movie. This is the only book on this list where I had seen the movie before reading the book.

Although the series has dozens of entries focusing on different topics, I always read the ones focused on war. The heroic stories of soldiers selfless actions in battle was something that stuck with me throughout my life and influenced my decision to join the Army.]]> 2023-03-15 01:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tul23576/ec4umo2zdt5mtftg/wish/2516977969
