Could be the book you loved the most, the series you daydreamed about, book that inspired you, fascinated you, your comfort read…anything.
And why.
I LOVED the Anne McCaffrey Pern books. I would walk around daydreaming about new adventures set in the books’ world. The Dragonsong books really connected my love of music with my love of fantasy (and animals).
The book that made me a bookworm (the Italian term would be “libridinoso”, portmanteau of book and libidinous) was “Elena, Elena, amore mio” by Luciano De Crescenzo.
I never re-read it, and I don’t even remember the plot (I think it’s a retelling of the Odyssey), but it introduced me to Greek Mythology (it had an appendix with all the gods names and relationships), and there was no going back.
I LOVE that portmanteau. That is so cool!
