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 princess diaries. Got me into reading. Surprised I don’t see more Meg Cabot appreciation on here because she’s one of the most successful authors who has written over 80 books across multiple genres and age groups. And the princess diaries books are surprisingly progressive for the early 2000s.
