Between the Lines discussion

Hi All!
I was wondering if anyone wants to help me with a project. I looking for fond memories of being read to between the ages of 7 and 13. If you would like to be part of my project, leave you memory (a sentence or two) along with your current age and state. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this will help, but hey!
I don't remember being read to, but I do remember my grandparents' bookcases full of classics, and how my eyes would light up by just looking at them, touching them, and wanting to grow up to read all of those books. Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dumas, Dostoyevsky, and so many other that I can't remember! Now I'm 17, and still waiting for the right time to come for me to dig into those novels.

My mother read You Shouldn't Have to Say Goodbye to me several times between 10 and 12, I could read it myself but having my mom read it and being thankful to have my mom after reading it was something special to me.

Age: 27
State:MI

Forgot to add state, now in NY, but was in Russia at the time of my memory.

My father would read to me from this big book of fairy tales right before bed. He often says he was amazed I did not have nightmares but I loved it and I still have the book.

Age: 55
State: VA (was in PA at the time)

One of my fondest memories is teacher read (or whatever it was called back then) when I was in fourth grade. I LOVED my teacher and LOVED to listen to her read. Mrs. Hontz made James and the Giant peach come alive for me! I am now a 3rd grade teacher and love read Aloud times!

State (now): CO Growing Up: NJ

When I was learning to read a friend and I would play a reading game that we made up. One of us would read aloud and when you made a mistake then it was the other person's turn to read. When that person made a mistake then it was the first person's turn again. We would continue in this matter until we had finished the book.

State: growing up-Ohio
