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 Magic Treehouse. I had to go into a special reading program because I was lagging behind the rest of my classmates in first grade. Went from barely being able to read, to only reading. I bet they never expected I’d be getting yelled at by teachers for reading too much in class.
