what was the first book that made you into a bookworm, mine is The Great Gatsby
Little House in the Big Woods when I was in 2nd grade. Then Anne of Green Gables. I was a goner after reading those.
Was a book in Spanish . And I love the movie so I decide to read the book and then going to watch the movie great gatsby
I can’t remember used to hate it and in middle school was forced to take a reading class then all the sudden couldn’t stop.
Mine is grapes of wrath
Great Expectations..l was 10 years old.
Definetly the Little House books!! ❤❤
The butterfly lion.
Second Child by John Saul.
Have..haven’t read it yet..
Dork diaries. I was 11 or 12. I stopped collecting it because my grandma and mom thinks its too childish for me. Haha. Now im reading more matur ish books?.
I read what I like..which is about everything! And I still read young adult and kid books!
Haha the matur ish part is also YA.
The BFG when I was in 3rd grade. Because before that book I hated to read and now after reading that it’s all I want to do.
Yep!
Where the Red Fern Grows in 5th grade.
Jane Eyre
I read that like at age 10.
It really sounds morbid, but “The Cradle will Fall” was the first book I read that wasn’t a children’s chapter book (I was 9) and I was hooked instantly. It was in my mom’s library collection and I had already read all of my bernstein bears, and dr suess millions of times, so I went looking for a biggger challenge. I plucked that one off the shelf, and was finished with it in 2 days. I haven’t put books down (save a few college years that I was just too busy) since. It definitely began my obsession with reading.
That’s me!
The Hardy Boys, but after reading Pity The Nation by Robert Fisk at 15yo I began my interest in military history
I enjoyed reading both the hardy boys and navy drew
I really don’t know … I’ve been a bookworm since I was 4.
Yep!! As far back as I can remember- – before school (preschool ( before kindergarten) I was reading).
Believe it or not Fallen series by Lauren Kate. I know it’s the the best book series but it will always have a space on my shelf. ?
I’m not sure, but I do remember reading Agatha Christie books early on. But even earlier than that, probably all the Little Golden Books we used to have as kids 🙂
It wasn’t one book; it was a group of books. I think they were called something like, ” Children’s Illustrated Classics”, and they introduced me to condensed classics like Journey to the Center of the Earth, Little Women, The Hound of the Baskervilles, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, etc. Those made me love books.
Yep!!
I had that series as well!
Nancy Drew – The Secret of the Old Clock. I was in the 5th grade. I read quite a bit before that but that was the first book that made me wait at the door for the library to open so I could get the next book.
I loved Nancy Drew
Same here!!
Oh my goodness. What a great question!! Do you remember those little Golden books? My mom bought me one about a little girl and her babydoll. I loved the pictures. She also bought me a picture book about the Nutcracker (I scribbled in it) and Cinderella (scribbled in that one too!). I learned how to read in first grade. The books were phonetic readers I think — a panda or a bunny was the main character…Buffy could’ve been one of the names. Once I learned how to read, I read everything from street signs to store names! Long story short: I’ve been a bookworm for as long as I can remember!
Same here!
I read every single one of those! LOL I LOVED Pokey Little Puppy!
@Tiffany, Pokey was always my fave! ?
Little golden books my mom and grandmother bought me.
Gosh I find these questions hard as I can never remember as I’ve just always read, but if I was to take a guess I would say either Little Women or Wolves of Willoughby Chase
Ditto
The little house books
John Grisham’s THE CHAMBER
My mom read me bedtime stories and thats where it started. Little Noddy books and Penny lane books i remember.

I had read other books before this, but I was really sick when I was little and my mom read me the first book of Little House on the Prairie. When I feeling a little better, she brought me the next few from the library and I’ve been a book lover ever sense <3
It was so long ago i can’t remember!!
Yep!
I’m not knocking people by any means, but I don’t know how you guys remember this. I’ve been a bookworm since as far back as I can remember. I remember various books I read as a child but I can’t pin point just one that made me a bookworm.
Same here!!
Well, being one of those people, I had trouble with reading and comprehension in my early years. It wasn’t until my junior year of high school when someone finally was able to turn on the light for me in that dark world. So, yeah. Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids like me who don’t get this light turned on until then or later, sadly.
Summer of the monkey’s
Omg..way before school age…
Green Eggs and Ham, when I was about 3. I could read long before I started school!

A Wrinkle in Time
Harry Potter
It was a multiple book realization: The Crucible, The Scarlet Letter, and Hamlet. Since reading was my weakest subject, I hated reading novels up until I was a junior in high school when I met the best teacher ever. He made me realize house much of a treasure reading a book was. And my senior year teacher sealed the deal. Never looked back every since. Oh and now I’m an English teacher. Lol I had some sense knocked into me.

My mother had bought me this set with the books and read along tapes that went with it when I was about 4 or 5 years old. (We just moved and not sure where it’s at right now, but this is what the books and tapes looked like that I found on Google). My favorite that got me into reading was the Brer Rabbit.
Me too!!
I started out with comics (Batman, The Flash, etc.), then moved to biographies (George Washington Carver, Ben Franklin, etc.). But one book that I still have and adore is “The Case Of The Painted Dragon”, a Brains Benton mystery. I’ve always been a reader…
