The book I am most grateful for is.....

Beth Revis, the author of Across The Universe, and upcoming sequel A Million Suns, is hosting an amazing giveaway of 19 signed books. What you need to do to enter is make a post about the book that you are most grateful for. Now let me just say that as SOON as i read this i KNEW which book that is. I don't care how cliche or overdone the choice is, i honestly owe this book and author alot. Read below to know which book and why.

The book(s) i have chosen are the Harry Potter series (surprise!). I have been a harry potter fan ever since i picked up the books. Now let me start at the beginning. 

When i was in sixth grade i used to live in Calgary, Canada. I didn't know much english (it's my second language) and my elementary school had a sort of book fair. My parents were all for me reading books and expanding my English vocabulary and ability so they told me to choose whichever books i want. 

The first four harry potter books were already published, and i saw many people swarmed around them and i had to take a look. I don't know what did it, what made me decide to buy them but i got all four. I started reading them and fell IN LOVE. While i didn't understand a lot of the words but it was a world of magic, and which 10 year old kid wouldn't love that? After reading them all i told my parents i wanted more books to read! we all signed up at our local library and i was in heaven. Harry Potter opened up the world of reading for me, it helped me acquire the English language and i honestly can't imagine my life without reading. 

Anyone who knows me knows i am the biggest harry potter fan ever. When the 7th book came out, my heart ached, and when it ended, i cried for hours, it was like the end of my childhood. A beautiful childhood and teenhood filled with magic, first loves, heartbreaks, best friends, and emotional roller coasters that you always want to ride over again.
