Comment on the following question:
Comment on the following question:
When I was younger my mom would help me increase my reading by reading books to her sometimes before she would go to bed. One book I remember the most was, “The Big Bark”. It was a story about young little girl who would always hear this big bark while walking past this fence, but it was actually a little dog. Did your mother or grandmother inspire you to read certain books or magazines? If so, share what type of books/magazines you remember and do you still read them today?
Winner will be announced on tomorrow a.m.

Reading has always been a priority in my family, & I was encouraged to read anything I liked. My mom was particularly fond of mysteries by Agatha Christie & Michael Innes, & I do sometimes reread them when I'm feeling nostalgic.
Very good Phoenix and thanks for the comments. 🙂
my mom was always working but when she had time she would read the goosebumps books to my brother and I before bed. I dont still read them but i now own the full collection of them so ill be able to read it to my kids some day 😀

My mom always took me to our public library and I remember all the "Clifford the big red dog" books!! I use to get so excited about them. When my mom would read them to me she would change her voice for different parts I loved it!! I read to my kids now they are 4 and 1 every night I let the 4 year old pick a book we all lay in my bed and read…. well I read they listen 🙂

Very nice story Savannah. It is always interesting to see how we use what we remember from our parents with our children. Thanks for the comments. 🙂
My Mom used to read me horror books and now that is mostly what I like to read. jasmeanlemons@yahoo.com
Wow! That is interesting Jasmean. Thanks for the comments. 🙂
My Mom is so special for cooking homemade meals, cakes and buying fresh fruits and vegetables for us. She always cared enough to prepare healthy, well balanced and nutritious foods. Now, I do the same, much to my family's delight. canti730@gmail.com
Thanks Canti for the responses. Were there any special books that your mom or grandmother read to you? 🙂
My mom always read us the series of books with the gold label on the side (maybe the mother goose series?). Well now I go to garage sales looking for those to read to my daughter – we have found quite a few and she loves them!

The first book I learned to read was The Lorax – I still think of my mom every time I see an ad for the movie or the book in a store. 🙂

i shared and tweeted as well
Yes, it is very interesting. Thanks for the comment. 🙂
We had a unique situation: my mom worked full time and my dad was home with us. That means I picked up his habits, like reading lots and lots of fiction novels. We didn't have access to magazines when I was growing up.
