What’s the first book you read that truly got you into reading?
Twilight ?. When I was even younger I read Harry Potter books 2&3 but I didn’t love them. I stopped reading the 4th half way through.
My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult when I was 12
Twilight ?
Harry Potter for me!
For me it was Jack London. White Fang and Call of the Wild.
White Fang in one of my husband’s favorite books!
The Time Capsule by Lurlene McDaniel
Cinder!❤❤❤
The magic faraway tree

Little women 🙂
I’ve always read. (My mom couldnt tear me away from the bookshelf once I learned to crawl) But the first series I really got into that I remember was the boxcar children. And the magic attic club or something like that where preteen girls dress up in outfits in a neighbor lady’s attic and magically travel to other lands
Ahhh I remember Magic Attic. Nice simple fun.
Twilight then Harry potter

The Little Princess by by Frances Hodgkin Burnett. I read that book again and again. I still have my original copy.
That book had a huge effect on me, man.
I was a spy.
میں ایک جاسوس تھا.
Urdu novel ?
I always had a book when I was in a kid but what really sparked it was when I was in fourth grade and I read an American girl book. I loved it and I was hooked I needed more to fulfill my need. So I started reading more books I’m 29 and I love reading
The Darkest Powers Trilogy by Kelley Armstrong ?

The doll in the garden. I think it was in like fourth or fifth grade.
There’s a Boy in the Girls Bathroom.
I have always been a reader, since I could physically read. But as a kid, I remember loving Matilda and A Wrinkle in Time.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
But I started reading all by my self with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire…
Honestly? I don’t remember. The earliest books I remember reading are the Disney picture book retellings and golden books.
Oliver twist
The very first book I learned to read and thus began my journey down the rabbit hole of a reader’s life?
Started out reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. Not sure how old i was when i first started possibly about 7. Then i got Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and that pretty much cemented it for me.
The warriors by Erin hunter back in elementary
Yass
Maybe Puff the Magic Dragon ?
I used to read it over and over when I was in 2nd grade ?
Narnia!
Mrs. Mike
Dare you to by Katie McGarry
My husband handed it to me randomly in the grocery store and I read The back, it sounded really good. I read it in one sitting. I remember thinking “wow, there has to be more books like this” then I went to Barnes and Noble, found the YA section and it took off from there. That was about 3 years ago?
Berenstein Bears when I was in 5th grade, then Little Critter’s from there I loved reading. My 7th grade teacher Mrs. Naso had read and feed days where we could bring a snack read and tell the class about our books! Best class ever!
I read many books before, but it’s only when I read The Ramses series by Christian Jacq that I understood what not being able to put a book down meant. It’s a romanticized, thrilling version of the Egyptian mythology.
A Long Way Gone❤️
The Goonies
I’ve always read. There wasn’t really one book that got me into it. I think I just had a very encouraging school that gave us mystery book bags in kindergarten that we could take home for a week and read, and there was always a day dedicated to reading where I would bring a blanket with me and lay out in the grass with a book. I was ahead of reading levels for most of elementary school too.
Some of my favorite early series, though, were The Magic Treehouse and Harry Potter series. And then I always loved The Wizard of Oz and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The book that got me into reading is a walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks
Bernstein Bears! I loved the pictures of all the books on the back–I wanted them ALL! Also, I have to give some credit to The Boxcar Children in 2nd grade!
I loved the Bernstein Bears too!
I loved The Boxcar Children so much! I also loved the Berenstain Bears❤
Well these would be from when I was a kid.
Where The Sidewalk Ends, Narnia series, The Babysitter’s Club, the Fear Street books….so many! My allowance went to books ?
Amelia Badelia and Ramona the pest… oh and boxcar children I was in 4th grade
I can’t think back that far but I’m assuming an RL Stine, babysitters club or sweet valley high (I loved these books).
The Phantom Tollbooth
The monster at the end of this book. My mom read it to me when I was little and she said after that I was always reading a book
Charlotte’s Web second grade
I have always liked reading books but the Twilight series is what started it for me.
I can’t answer that because I don’t remember. I’ve been a reader since I started reading. I don’t remember never having a book.
Winnie the pooh………
over 50 years ago <3
The BFG & Matilda by Roald Dahl
Little house on the prairie series
As soon as I could read, I was truly into it. I can’t remember that far back. The oldest ones I recall are The Little House in the Big Woods; The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe; A Little Princess; The Boxcar Children and the first Felicity book in the American Girls series.
