Hi and welcome to my blog. This is my reading autobiography. I started reading when I was 4 years old. I was the first one in my class to be able to read, when we would sit in a circle when it was time for our teacher to read us a story, my teacher would sometimes let me read for the class as well. I really enjoyed reading for my peers, especially since I was the only one who could read, but what I liked more is to read for myself. When I first started reading I liked to read anything I saw, from posters outside to advertisements in the newspaper to shampoo bottles in the shower. I never really had a favorite book because I enjoyed almost all the books I read, my favorite kind of books however were thriller books. I still enjoy those books, but now I like dystopian stories more. I enjoyed reading books that were far beyond my level and age. Since I was not allowed to lend such books with my library pass because I was too young, I would always read as much as possible in the library and memorize where I had left off to read later. This continued until I had entered middle school. In middle school I didn’t read as much as I would have wanted to because I was too busy with school. Only after I got my HAVO diploma I started reading again, not stories from books but stories created on a platform called Wattpad. Everyone can publish a story about whatever they wanted to and could add as much chapters as they wanted to. In order to find a story that interests you, you can search stories by keywords. To this day I still enjoy reading stories from Wattpad.
