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?
I forget which came first, but it was either LOTR after reading The Hobbit for school, or the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia after reading The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe for school
