The Outsmilers discussion

So I just read a post where someone mentioned that the Percy Jackson books were the ones that really got her interested in reading. I think maybe we all have one special book that it did for us, and I thought it might be fun to share what that book was

I'll start. For me it was a jr. high school librarian introducing me to Terry Brook's

THE SWORD OF SHANNARA

Into the Wild. Best book ever. Got me reading the Warriors series, because I thought: "Hey, they're about cats, and what'll happen if it isn't good?" Now I've read all 50+ Warriors books, impatiently awaiting the next one. (XD)

Their are 2 books who I think made me a reader. One was the series of unfortunate events books, if one was the start it is probably this I started to read it in year 5 and loved it. The reason why this is not on its own because it didn't spread my reach. This series made me love to read but not books the other two did that
Two was Percy Jackson, I love this series and it is because of it I love books, when ever I think of a series I love it is this. While series of unfortunate events was the first this one made me realise things that could happen in books and from their I read any book I could lay my hands on.

For me, the Series of Unfortunate Events sort of began my reading interest. Then the Percy Jackson books got me HOOKED and in complete utter LOVE with reading. Reading those books is the best thing that's ever really happened to me.

(( You both like the same books... Odd... ))

((LOL, I didn't even realize ))

I was not actually a big fan of reading till I read Harry Potter. And God! I fell in love with every part and every character. :))
Then I started reading few books for Agatha Christie and.. Wow! This woman deserves to be called The Queen Of Crime!!
This is how I started :))

Princess Ben got me off graphic novels and comic books

When I was a kid around 9 or so, I read a series of books called Heartland, which was based on these Virginia farm where they helped abused horses. Ever since, I loved reading.

Harry Potter.

Nancy Drew got me reading a lot and some fairy series when I was little.

Master of the Game Sidney Sheldon I was a goner.

'Arry Potter of course :P

Harry Potter :)

Whoop!

The Magic Tree House series was the first series that I was a total fangirl about and got me interested in reading, but Septimus Heap got me searching for books constantly. XD

My sis introduced me to Queen of Glass on fictionpress, and I've been a book lover since then :)

Yeah, got you hooked, didn't I? XDD For me it was Anne of Green Gables.

Book that got me hooked... Alex Rider series...lol I loved that series

Alex Rider!! :D

Anne of green gables... Miss those books

City of Bones by the illustrious Cassie Clare <3

For Dystopian. The Hunger Games--After Seeing Trailer

For Fantasy.Throne of Glass

The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. I was always a big reader, but this book really sort of started everything...

I had never been interested in reading much up until i was maybe around 30 years old. The day i became an old fart haha. I started my reading journey with classics such as The three Musketeers, Ben Hur and so on, haven't looked back since! I do wish I'd have begun reading seriously a lot sooner though :(

The series that got me reading to the extent that I could not sleep was the Rangers apprentice when I was 11 since then I've been able to read 6 books in 1 week and I LOVE BOOKS

That book that really hooked me was way back in first grade. My mother gave me a kid's version of "White Fang" by Jack London, and I read that thing until it fell apart.

I really got hooked on reading at a super young age...my dad used to read Uncle Wiggly books to me when I was little and I just took off from there. When I got a little older, the Little House on the Prairie books really drew me in and I just took off reading like crazy after that.

I started reading Nancie Drew and Goosebumps books when I was like seven years old. I would even sneak books to boring lessons and read them under the desk.

Maximum Ride and The Warriors series as a kid! For some reason normal humans didn't do the trick.
