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).
I also loved this one. I feel like it was my first brush with urban magic? Contemporary fantasy? Not sure how to put it. I just liked that they used a car antenna as a wand and were in the middle of the city. Kinda bled into my interest in magical realism and Murakami as an adult.
i honestly wanted to add in this comment that i went right into stephen king after this and have read nothing but horror since aside from a few random thrillers and had no idea how to describe the genre. but i do need to expand. university killed my reading drive and i’m still struggling to get it back. coming to this sub helps as well as having a friend who owns a used book store giving me books to read that she likes lol
