Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read

This Week's Question: Activity!!! Take a picture or describe where you love to read the most…

Answer: I always sit on my comfy La-Z-Boy rocking recliner. I usually have my shawl with me because I get ridiculously cold very easily. This is the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in. Plus it rocks, like a rocking chair. I like rocking while I read. Yeah, I know. It's kind of weird, but I don't like to sit still for too long so it's a way to keep my body moving (well, kind of moving, but you get what I mean). I also have a reading light right next to me, it's super bright so it's perfect for a reading area. The chair is actually in the family room of my house. I like to be with the rest of my family when I read. I don't know why.

TGIF at GReads is a Friday Feature hosted by Ginger at GReadsBooks.com! The point of TGIF is to re-cap on this week’s posts and answer the question of the week!

This Week's Question: Required Reading - Which book from your school days do you remember reading & enjoying? Is there a book published now that you'd like to see in today's curriculum for kids?

Answer: I don't remember which grade I was in but I do remember reading Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls and bawling my eyes out. Though it is super sad, I still enjoyed it. It was the first book that I couldn't put down. I didn't even care that it was required reading. It was a well told story that really made my emotions run wild and drew me in from page one. I felt like I walked away a little wiser and a little more grown-up after reading this book.

Summary: Billy, Old Dan and Little Ann -- a Boy and His Two Dogs...

A loving threesome, they ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains -- and Billy had the will to train them to be the finest hunting team in the valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too. And close by was the strange and wonderful power that's only found...

An exciting tale of love and adventure you'll never forget.


When I was volunteering for my old elementary school, the librarian suggested a book for me to read. It was called Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Even as an adult, I loved reading this middle-school book. It has great characters and an interesting storyline. It also teaches important real life lessons for young kids. I don't know if this book is already in today's curriculum, but if not, it should be.

Summary: Jess Aarons' greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in his grade. He's been practicing all summer and can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new girl boldly crosses over to the boys' side and outruns everyone.

That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. Together they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits.
