♥ Young Adult and New Adult Readers ♥ discussion

Have you always loved reading? What made you like reading? And do you remember the first book you ever read? Discuss it here!

I have always loved reading for as long as I could remember. I think it started when I took eztra reading classes.

I actually couldn't read very well till second grade so I I thought of it as a challenge so I read everything I could in 3rd grade and ever since I've loved it. The first book I remember reading is cloudy with a chance of meatballs and even up today it's my favorite

The class I was put into was to "help" me read, but my teacher said I didn't have any problems. I, according to her, loved to read ro my classmates. And this was in 1st grade lol

The reason why I couldn't read that well was because my parents had me learning everything in Spanish from the age of four so I got the languages mixed up all the time. I cried my self to sleep so many times when I was a kid because everyone else could read English and Spanish and I could only read in Spanish.
Its a strange life I lead seeing how my first language is English.

Well it's pretty cool you learned Spanish

Yeah
It's a cool language

For as long as I can remember.

I never disliked reading.. But I really started to love it in 6th grade.

I like reading since I was a kid. I remember I liked to borrow books from school library and I returned them the next day. I loved to read Beatrix Potter (love Peter Rabbit very much! It still become my favorite until now :p) in that time and then started to read Enid Blyton children novels.
What I like from reading is because reading make me relax. I feel that I'm in the middle of fantasy world even when I've finished the book I still can feel that world around me.

I have always loved to read. I don't even remember learning how to read. I have always carried a couple of books with me. I think I really started reading in middle school but I do remember reading the Harry potter series in third grade and every year after that

No. It wasn't until about 3 or 4 years ago when my friend introduced the hunger games to me and since then I've been CRAZY in love with it

I've always loved reading!! I can't even remember the first book I read...maybe it was almo? Haha

I started reading a lot in grade two because I was very socially awkward. At recess I didn't want to play with any of the other kids, so I read. I was always reading above my grade level, but I really liked the goosebumps books. I think that's how I started, then in grade four I read the ink heart series and I fell in love with books.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved reading. In fact, I really hard for me to stop reading.
Once I finish a book I must read other, and other. And other....

I've always loved reading. Even when I was no more than 5 or 6, I kept reading every kind of story book I could get my hands on.
And my crazy life as a fangirl started when I first read Percy Jackson. And since then, I am considered as a mental bookworm everywhere. :)

I actualy first didn't liked to read because of my bigger siter (yes, she loved it and I had to hate it because I felt like that I have to hate everything that she likes) and I don't realy remember the first book I've read, just the first book I owned. It was something about cats and I loved it.
When I was in the 5th class I began to love reading, and this maybe because of a good friend of mine. We always gave eachother our books and talked about it, that was awesome :)

Always have!

That's pretty interesting. I'm always telling my younger sister books that she needs to read. And me and my best friend are always recommending books to each other (when we lived in the same state, we would share every book that we picked up - we still do this occassionally when she's visiting).

yes! I've always loved to read

I do also remember in first grade my English teacher had the middle school kids read to us and I loved it! although the 6th grader who had to read to me didn't love being assigned to me because every Friday I made her read me the same book (I believe it was an Emily the strange) book I know I loved it so much that it was the only book I wanted to have read to me even though I was perfectly capable of reading it myself.
