What book made you fall in love with reading? Be honest
Everyone has that one book—the one that made you fall in love with stories, characters, and turning pages late into the night. What was it for you? I’d love to know that🤓
My first one was the phantom Toolbooth in 5th grade.

The *Famous Five*! My aunt read the first 5 books to us, the 6th was the first “proper” book that I read by myself (I was 6 I think)

One Hundred Years of Solitude!! I first read it when I was a kid. I don’t know how many times I’ve reread it over the years

Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis, in what was then known as Junior High (now known as Middle School).

I honestly don’t remember because it was probably in 2nd or 3rd grade. Been an avid reader as long as I can remember.

It was totally The Berenstain Bears series for me. I don’t think I had even started school yet, but as my Mother tells it she used to read the stories to me until one day I just grabbed one of them from her and started reading it back to her! I remember devouring those books as a kid anyhow – they were pretty legit.

The Cave of Time, a Choose Your Own Adventure book my mum purchased at a thrift shop. I still have/collect them to this day!

*The Chronicles of Narnia* in first grade. But then *The Great Brain* series which is awesome but never talked about anymore.
As an adult, I regained my love of reading by finding *Neuromancer* by William Gibson.

The Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. I read all of them when I was about 13. Changed how I approached any reading.

My parents read to me when I was a kid so I’d have to say Beatrix Potter and Mother Goose.
