You were a non-reader, preferring to watch movies and series rather than touch a book.
But then, someone recommends a novel they think you’ll like, you flip through it and love it!
In case it’s the first part of a trilogy or series, and you decide to read the whole series (or at least read all the parts you get your hands on and, in case you can’t get your hands on the last ones, you decide to look for spoilers on the internet).
That was my experience with Warriors by Erin Hunter.
What’s yours?
The mystery of invisible thief by Enid Blyton. This was the first ever book I’ve read by my own will ( i issued it from my school library)
I would devour all of the Enid Blyton series. Owned many of them because my local library decided that Enid Blytons books were racist and were pulled from the shelves (this was in Sweden in the 1960s)
