As I grew older, I developed a love of art, music and theater, and my favorite two books during Middle School (Ballet Shoes and Theatre Shoes) reflected those interests.  However as a teen and adult I also became interested in issues of social justice and political change, and my favorite books were those that shed light on such problems in the world--my most recent favorite book, Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland is one such book.

I Like the "Harry Potter" Series Because of this. I developed a love of creepiness because of the  "Gustav Gloom" Series. I believed in helping my friends and family and doing what's right, just like Percy Jackson, that's why I love the "Percy Jackson" Series. I developed a love of dragons because of the book "Eagon".]]> 2021-02-11 12:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1191942023 https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1192819134 When I was little, I was quiet, shy and didn’t talk to many others. I also didn’t have a great life, and I like to think this is why I tend to steer more towards fantasy books, and ones that deal with a lot of friends because I can put myself into their shoes and the world that they’re in, like Percy Jackson or Sailor Moon. They’re the type of books where you can just get lost in them and I can read them for hours and let time fly by distracting me from the real world and the things happening. ]]> 2021-02-11 15:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1192819134 2022kthompson https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1193772915 When I was little, I was very adventurous, smart and tried to get along with others. Although I had my fair share of people who didn't like me I always had my family with me every step of the way. I'd often read the Diary of the Wimpy Kid series, I loved to read about Greg and his dynamic with family and his friends. I spent most of my days in the library so I've read many books similar. As I grew in my early teens I found myself being a hopeless romantic while also taking an interest in Japanese cartoon art style known as anime/manga. The worlds were always exciting and creative enough to feed my imagination. Two books that sparked this was the Attack On Titan series and Fallen series. Nothing but a little blood and feelings to get the imagination going!]]> 2021-02-11 18:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1193772915 https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1194279323 I am quirky, free spirited, a little nerdy, sexy and most of all, not like most other girls! If theres one thing that Scotty knows about me, it's that I crave his love desperately. So to beat out all of you other weak contestant's without the know-how to treat the amazing man that I love, I'll be selecting books that are perfectly to Sexy Scottys tastes! I know that in Scottys extra big and extra wrinkly boy brain, there is a large section filled exclusively with random trivia about early American history, so my first book is 1776 by David McCullough! Scotty is sure to love this long and boring book, overwrought with tiny details about John Adams and the American revolution only the most devilishly die-hard history buff would enjoy.
Because I know how to offer that special personal touch, next I'll be including one of my recent favorites The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. This book is all about spicy magical realism. What starts out as a search for a lost cat in the suburbs of Tokyo soon unravels itself into a dark meliu of seedy underground organizations and reflection on Japans war crimes committed during World War II. Because of the last point and the lighter tone in the beginning  and the exceptional, often cerebral writing, I'm sure Scotty will fall in love with this one. Finally is something Scotty will HAVE to LOVE, because it was made especially for him! A shoe box full of love letters adressed to him but never sent, written by me! My burning desire to make him happy shines through within my writing and I know that Scotty will HAVE TO CHERISH DEEPLY what I have made for him! Pick me Scotty, I love you. ]]> 2021-02-11 19:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1194279323 https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1194344916 When I was little I was curious and I loved fantasy stories. That's why I read books like the Page Master and James in the Giant Peach. There was just always something about those stories that fascinated me and they definitely kept me entertained. In fact, I owned almost every single Roald Dahl book. As I got older I began to get into anime and so I began reading manga. I particularly love stories like Sailor Moon,  the Promised Neverland,   Hunter x Hunter, and many more. Whenever I read I feel like I'm being transported to another world and my imagination runs wild. I can't wait to see what adventure I jump into next!]]> 2021-02-11 19:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1194344916 https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1194387806 Ever since I was little, I knew that I was not like those other girls. Latching onto books such as Eric Carle’s The Tiny Seed, I discovered what it truly means to be the main character. Following ten different seeds, the picture book makes note of the tiniest, “runt” seed. No one expected it to succeed, but as fate would have it, this underdog seed became the largest sunflower of all. As I got older, I started seeking action and badassery in my protagonists, leading me to the 2012-2014 YA dystopian craze, with The Hunger Games as a notable pick. Now, I have begun to enjoy the art of the short story, as I have significantly less time to read. One of my favorite and most influential works in my life would have to be The Yellow Wallpaper, because it absolutely slaps. As I grew older and changed, I learned how to become the driving force in my own story. I guess you could say that I’ve become the main character ;). Either way, getting in a relationship with me has its perks — most notably, I’ll rip off all the wallpaper you could ever desire, free of charge.]]> 2021-02-11 20:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/edesmond/sglh5bv6lbzcybd7/wish/1194387806
