Anyone can have minor and major influences on your day to day life.
Whether it be from the way you dress, act, or even talk.

I want to take the time to let you all know about someone who has been the most influential person in my life and is the reason I read as much as I do today...

MY MOM
Reading almost every night to your kids sure did pay off Mom!
Decided not to put a picture up since she might find out and go straight for the jugular ;)
I'm sure a lot of people say their parents are there biggest influence in most things and it's really true. My mom is no exception. She read to me when I was little and kept doing it while encouraging me to read as well. I guess you can say I became a nerd at a young age :P I'm guessing my twin didn't acquire the same 'nerdness' because we are complete opposite. Literally like the sun and moon.
Ever since I can remember, I've been in love with libraries and books. She even encourages my writing, which is saying a LOT because my writing is HORRIBLE!
So, who's you biggest reading influence?

Likely my mother as well! She read to me when I was a kid before bed time as well.
Of course I don't know how to twist this, but because I had bad leg problems as a kid and couldn't play sports or do a lot PE, I sat on the sidelines a lot, and eventually I got to reading to pass the time away. And I read a LOT! When I was 13 I started reading any vampire book I could find which wasn't a whole lot, now I have so many other options than vampires it's fantastic!
Reading the Harry Potter series made me want to read more.
Grreat post thankyou
