I remember my 3rd grade teacher letting me borrow his books and take them home. Normally, our teachers wouldn't let us, but he noticed I loved to read and allowed me to take them. -
Over the next year, my 3rd-grade teacher started giving me a series to start reading. He introduced me to Goosebumps and I had my mom take me to the library to check out various Goosebumps books at a time. They quickly became my favorite series. -
My older cousins started reading the Twilight series with my aunt's permission. I followed in their footsteps and they handed their books down to me. It was the first time I read books bigger than a standard chapter book. -
As the pattern shows, I loved reading series and the Hunger Games was quickly picking up popularity. I read the first book, but loved the movies more so I stopped reading the book. -
As I approached high school, I became obsessed with John Green! I loved reading Looking for Alaska. I read it so much that it ripped apart from the wear and tear. -
As I entered highschool, my transition was fairly hard. I found the book The Perks of Being a Wallfower. It made me feel seen when I didn't. -
As I went through high school, I became interested in reading classic Literature. I read Lolita in 2 days from how surprised the content was. -
The Virgin Suicides was a random book I got on sale at the store. It was the first book I read that included a group of sisters committing suicide one after the other. They made a movie adaptation, which was just as good as the book for once. -
In adulthood, it's hard to find books that capture my interest. However, this series has about 25 books in it (I'm currently on book 17) and it has action, romance, and steamy scenes. -
This book encouraged me to start a book club with my friends! It's allowed me to meet new friends and build better relationships with my existing ones.
