when i was younger i loved reading but fell out of love with it. late last year i started reading The Edge Of Thirteen and it made me realise how fun reading is! i also read agggtm (took me a year but one night i just read it for like three hours and finished it) and that also made me realise how interesting books are!

I did like reading when I was younger but I would only read Goosebumps books. Then I kinda fell out of reading for all of middle school and it wasn’t until high school when I read the Percy Jackson series where I found my love for reading. Haven’t looked back since 🤗

read through every single harry potter book in like 3rd grade and never looked back, i’d always had a high academic reading level but it’s what actually made me enjoy reading

My mom was a huge reader. When I was a baby, she would just read whatever she was reading out loud to me. She also helped me to learn to read long before I started school. I grew up just reading whatever I wanted to from my mom’s library all the time and never really stopped. And now it’s my biggest reminder of her so yeah.

MY ROMAN EMPIRE AT THE RIPE AGE OF 6

I love everyone’s stories!!
for me i used to HATE reading, and i mean that literally, i would be bored to TEARS!
it was only until i became homeschooled and one day i was just bored out of my mind. (i was probably 10 at the time) and i started to look through the book shelf in my room (which funnily enough, the books on that bookshelf weren’t even mine or my sisters 😭, but rather— my moms and my sister who was in highschool???)
so i was looking through it and found this book (Maximum Ride..) which i thought was an “older kids” book, but little me was a rebel and i picked it up anyway and read it in 3 sittings. and now i love reading! i’ve probably read over 500 books in that 6 year span!

in kinder i failed my first sight reading test so I started practicing reading by reading Matilda, I started getting a high reading level, 1st grade bc of my reading level i had to read more so I read whatever after, but my first fandom was harry potter and i became a huge book lover after that 💌

I mean the first REAL thing i read was probably harry potter-- i always loved books, i used to BEG my parents to read me bedtime stories and read tons by myself when i was old enough. harry potter was and is great but i've got to say percy jackson and all of riordan's books made a bigger impact on me. now im also trying classics and stuff, love greek mythology too. but yeah, guess i always had a thing for books. and i also always loved writing assigments (when not about myself) since i was like 8:)

I have loved reading since I was a toddler, and I just never grew out of it 🤷‍♀️

i knew i loved it ever since i was a little kid in 4th grade and discovered warrior cats and dork diaries 🥹🥹. I was someone who had ZERO friends back then so I would spend my entire day at school reading whenever I could and trying not to get caught. Got in a lot of trouble sometimes but it was so worth it LMAOOO. Reading was the only thing that brought me joy and im forever grateful for the book series I read that made me who I am today :)
