Re: Were you always a reader?
I was never so popular in school or so, and books were always a mean to travel to magical places!

My mum reading a bedtime story to me used to be my favourite time of the day. She tells me that she enjoyed it when I started to read the stories to her <3
In primary school, I loved trying to see if I can get through more reading levels so that I could get to the thicker books I had always wanted to read.
When I reached the point in school where I could choose my any book from the library I was lost forever. Constantly drawn into the world of fiction.

I grew up with a learning disability in math and advanced skills in reading and language arts. I read books as early as I could, since it was something that I enjoyed being an imaginative and creative kid, and I was an only child with very few friends. I had quite the collection of books for a kid my age. I regularly went to the public library to take books out, but read them so fast I'd be there the next day. I was a speed reader as well, and actually won a couple local school contests speed reading as a kid. I loved reading until one day I didn't. I pretty much stopped reading books when I became a teenager.
In place of books, I read fan fiction occasionally. Aside from school assignments there was no real reading for pleasure, until I went to college.
I moved away to college like a lot of kids do, but I didn't move until I was going for my bachelors, at the lovely age of 22. I bought Twilight, and my friends donated me some books, telling me I'd have time to read, and I should because up at dry campus in the middle of nowhere-I was going to be bored. Twilight brought me back into the world of books. I quickly fell back in love with reading, and have not stopped since, I just keep wanting to read more, and more and more.

same! Then when I learned how those words sound I would read them aloud and with intonation even though I don't understand what they mean (they were in English which is not my first language). My sisters never went through that phase, or at least not in that degree, so I think my parents already knew it's not just me learning how to read.Thaty wrote:yes, since I was a little girl. I read even before learning how to read, Just turning the pages and pretending so.

Ever since, whenever my friends would laugh at me and call me a nerd for reading all the time and try to convince me that reading was not cool, I would just point to my big scary dad and ignore them. Because I knew the truth. I have been reading since 4 and a half years old and never lost the love.
