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 first book I read of my own accord was The Time Machine when I was in the 4th grade. I remember really enjoying it and being proud of myself as I read through the book. Reading and keeping my attention span was hard for me so I would often have to reread parts of books as I forgot what I was reading and it was frustrating. My mother was a prolific reader her whole life so I didn’t understand why it was so hard for me to enjoy.
