Book Blog Entry #1

My Previous Experience With Books: When I was little my mom used to read me a story every night before I went to bed. I was always so interested in the pictures and couldn't wait until I could read by myself. I remember going to the library almost every week and picking out like twenty books but my mom would tell me I could only get three, so I would make her read all the ones I didn't get before we left the library. Once I learned to read on my own I loved it and still do.My parents both enjoy reading  so they say its no surprise that I like reading too. I am a fast reader and when I pick up a book I like its very hard to put it down.

The book that I am reading now for readers workshop is called Artichokes Heart by Suzanne Supplee. I Choose this book because its a story about a girl who feels out of control, trying to cope and learning that peoples aren't as perfect as they seem. The main characters name is Rosemary Goode and she is a girl who is over weight and desperately wants to change that. She finds out that her mother has cancer and is trying to find way to be strong and help her get through it. Rosemary finds a friend in an unlikely person and also develops a crush on the new boy in school and wants nothing more then for him to notice her.
