MY BOOKS AGE 5 TO 15

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL THEY USED   TO MAKE THESE BOOKS THAT WERE ALMOST A SQUARE AND THE STORIES WERE ABOUT TARZAN,RED RYDER, AND ANY OTHER  COMIC CHARACTERS YOU COULD THINK OF . THEY COST 10 CENTS AND THEY WERE VERY THICK AND YOU ALWAYS FELT YOU WERE GETTING A LOT FOR YOUR DIME.

I LOVED THESE LITTLE BOOKS THEY WERE IN COMIC FORM.

 I ALSO BOUGHT LITTLE LULU EVERY MONTH SHE WAS A FAVORITE OF MINE IN COMIC BOOK FORM. I LOVED WHEN TUBBY SOLVED THE MYSTERIES WHICH ALWAYS WERE HER DAD WHO WAS THE CULPRIT. THEY WERE FUNNY AND NICE AND CLEAN UNLIKE THE TERROR STORIES WE SEE NOWADAYS.  SOMETIMES I GOT ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN WHICH WERE KINDA SCARY.  I ALWAYS HATED THE STORIES THAT HAD DEVILS IN THEM I WAS AFRAID OF DEVILS , AFTER READING A STORY ABOUT DEVILS I ALWAYS CHECKED OUT UNDER MY BED AND ALL AROUND MY ROOM FOR THEM. AND THEN I PRAYED AND GOT UNDER THE COVERS AND WORE MY ROSARY.

I USED TO HAVE A LITTLE RADIO THAT I GOT FOR A BIRTHDAY FROM MY MOM ONCE AND I LISTENED UNDER THE COVERS   AND SOMETIMES I TOOK A FLASHLIGHT  UNDER MY COVERS TO READ A BOOK WHEN I WAS FORCED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AT BEDTIME.

I LOVED TO READ I READ OUT THE LIBRARY IN ONE SUMMER. WHEN  I FIRST WENT TO THE LIBRARY I HAD BEEN TOLD YOU COULD BORROW THE BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY SO I WOULD PICK OUT MY BOOKS AND TAKE THEM HOME READ THEM AND RETURN THEM .  NO ONE EVER TOLD ME YOU HAD TO CHECK THEM OUT TILL MUCH LATER.  WHEN I ASKED THE LIBRARIAN FOR HELP ONCE HAHHA. SHE WAS AGHAST BUT UNDERSTANDING SINCE I LOVED BOOKS SO MUCH.

I LEARNED TO READ WHEN I WAS ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD MY OLDER BROTHER AND SISTER TAUGHT ME A LOT BECAUSE I WAS A QUICK LEARNER AND IT TICKLED THEM TO SEE ME DO IT.  ALSO MY BROTHER TAUGHT ME FRACTIONS BY ASKING ME IF I WANTED AN EIGHTH OR A 4TH OF A CANDY BAR OF COURSE I SAID 8TH  CUZ 8 WAS MORE THAN 4 AND THAT IS HOW I LEARNED MY FRACTIONS.

I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE HOME SCHOOLED BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOL ONCE MY MOTHER MARRIED THAT AWFUL SCREAMING MAN SHE  WAS WITH. I WAS SO HAPPY TO GET TO GO LIVE WITH AN AUNTY AND UNCLE BECAUSE LIFE AT HOME WITH MAMA WAS HELL WITH THAT MAN.

WE ALL WENT TO LIVE WITH AUNTS AND FOSTER PARENTS AS A RESULT OF HIS  HORRID WAYS.

MORE SOON.
