For some reason, my primary school put me in this paired reading group, despite the fact I was such a strong reader. Because I was so used to reading in my head, I wasn't sure how to say some words- the main one I remember is struggling to say 'protestant' but being able to describe what it was. After that, my teachers realised what a mistake they'd made and took me out straight away! Also at primary school, I got a poem about snow published in a book- my only claim to fame!

But really, I don't want to force it on people. I do think there is such a thing as "well written" and "badly written," but I don't want to make fun of the AUTHOR. Or beat a dead horse, and in the world of Twilight-shaming, I think that horse has been beaten quite enough.<br /><br />Everyone gets so a;slkdjfl;akjds when I tell them I haven't read HP 7, and it's a bit annoying. Oh well - I'll do it this summer. :-)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113180708896008365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-73210505452871264282014-11-14T09:56:06.334-06:002014-11-14T09:56:06.334-06:00I thought it was sort of funny :-PI thought it was sort of funny :-PSophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113180708896008365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-66228669423259889192014-11-14T00:15:18.003-06:002014-11-14T00:15:18.003-06:00Cool!

Wasn't "The Standover Man" one of the best parts of the whole book? <br /><br />Yes, "loquacious" is definitely an interesting word. I actually learned that word in math class of all places because my algebra teacher said that it was his favorite word. :-)<br /><br />As for funny childhood stories involving books, I can only think of one: before I could talk, I used to throw books at my mom when I wanted her to read to me.Hannahttp://bookgeeksanonymous.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-56981012068430287862014-11-13T18:50:39.947-06:002014-11-13T18:50:39.947-06:00I have to admit....I don't understand at all t...I have to admit....I don't understand at all the war between Twilight and Harry Potter. They're not even the same genre?!! It's completely weird to compare them. That's like me comparing John Green and Maggie Stiefvater...they are just completely <i>different</i> and there's ZILCH middle ground. *shrugs* My respect for Stephan King plummeted when I saw his quotes about Twilight to be honest. Hey, I don't particularly like the book! It was awful, but it wasn't for me. But authors hating on authors? Whaaaat. <br />*ahem*<br />Sorry. ;-) I haven't read HP 7 either. Or 6...or 5...BUT I WILL!! I've got 5 out on audio from the library. This will happen. <br />Dork or a dweeb?! ALRIGHTY THEN.<br />I had to look up loquacious, but that is suuuch an awesome word.CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-25067818406300283292014-11-13T09:41:15.194-06:002014-11-13T09:41:15.194-06:00Yeah...
