It was great reading all of your comments, they brought me way back. Growing up as a foreigner (I came to Canada when I was nine) I always felt like I needed to learn the language well, so I resorted to reading and ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. It’s always fun to look back where we came from.
We would like to congratulate ‘ikkinlala’ as the initial Class T-Shirt Winner for this Giveaway (please send me an e-mail at : kamil[at]cameesa[dot]com )
Ikkinlala will be entered into our Grand Prize Giveaway tonight, where 10 other book-lover blogs have participated. Of each of their 10 individual winners, we will select one Grand Prize winner who will receive a complimentary book [sponsored by Cameesa, under $100 value] and will also receive a Book Lover Tee of their choice.
Congratulations IKKINLALA, and we wish you the best of luck in the next round which will be held once all of the Book-lover blogs have reported their winners.

You will receive 1 entry into the giveaway for talking about your experience below, and 2 entries for writing about this giveaway and linking back to this post.
Talk about the books/series you loved to read as a child. How did you get these books/series? (ie. library, from parents) Who influenced you to read them? How did reading these books made you feel? Feel free to get into as much detail as you wish, escape.
Here is my experience:
I first fell in love with reading when I lived in Oakville, Ontario and was about 11 years old. I read the entire “Nate the Great” series….over and over again.
I remember walking solo from our apartment building to the library (20 minute walk), and then reading every “Nate the Great” book that I could get my hands on. I loved trying to solve each of Nate’s mysteries, and felt very engaged in the series. One of my ESL friends, Czesiek, turned me onto this series. In retrospect, I still don’t understand how my parents never noticed my all-day adventures to the library, maybe they knew. Thinking of this takes me way back…wow.
What’s your experience?
