Harry Potter. My first book in English and it took me so long to finish the first book & had to re read cause I didn’t understand 1/4 of what I read ❤️

Clan of the cave bear, read it I'm 4th grade. Than read misery by Stephen King. And hobbiet than fell in love with forgotten relem books when I was in my 20s with Harry Potter. Than I picked up YA horror books in my 30s. And now I'm a avid reader of romancy.

Fourth wing, Cresent City, ACOTAR, Throne of Glass and Mistborn. Started in that order. I prefer listening while working and driving but it lead to me starting to physical reading at all times now.

I was an avid reader in my teens and early 20’s, lots of sci-fi and ya fantasy stuff. But by my late 20’s I just slowed down and after the pandemic shut-down, I just found my attention span was gone. Starting The Stormlight Archive last December reignited my love for reading and I’ve spent the last 8 months just so immersed in books it’s really been very special to me.

The first books I ever read were fairy tales. I’ve always loved the physical object of the book itself — the pages, the binding, the smell — ever since I was a little girl, around 7 or 8 years old. From that moment on, I’ve never stopped reading. I started by buying fairy tales at book markets, and as I grew up, I always looked for books suited to my age. That’s how I became a reader.

I dont ever remember a time when I wasnt a reader. My earliest memories are of reading. But there was a period of time as an adult with young kids that I hardly read for myself. I read with them all the time, but not for myself. And this might be the strawberry pop tart answer, but ACOTAR pushed me back into reading for my own enjoyment.

My friend basically shoved Laurell K. Hamilton's Guilty Pleasures book in my hands and said, "Read it." I was hooked lol!

It was The Shining at 13 that made me a reader. Since reading it there hasn't been a day were I don't have a book occupying my mind

I feel like I was always into reading but the first series I really invested in was Harry Potter when I was 10. Now I’m halfway through the Cosmere and absolutely loving it!

I started when I was really young. I still have my E. B. White set I read when I was 4. I fell off reading around the time I started college because there was just no time to read and I didn’t really start to get back into it until I joined my local book club back in December 2023. I picked ACOTAR up the following summer and have been devouring books this last year.
