What Got Me Into Reading

I am getting ready to watch the Goosebumps movie and that got me thinking about what got me into reading in the first place. So, I thought I would do a quick post about it. I'm in my 30s so details may be a little fuzzy. As memory is the first to go. 😉

I remember enjoying Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys and such in my younger years. But I really credit Goosebumps for my love of reading. I can remember staying up late reading. I would then be a tad afraid of the dark and stay up even later. The next day at school would be horrible I was so tired. But I would do it all over again the next night.

From those I moved on to books by Dean Koontz and Stephen King. And then some where in my late teens I lost my love of reading. It sort of just left me. It wasn't until my mid to late 20s that I found reading again. There were some things I read during that massive "slump" but nothing on a regular basis.

It was actually my niece who got me into reading again and for that I am thankful. She convinced me to read this book Twilight. Maybe some of you have heard of it. 😆 This started my love of young adult. I've read on a regular basis since that book.

A few years ago I discovered Booktube. Which is the greatest thing ever. I watch my favorites every week and I am now never without a book. I think I have approximately 250 books waiting to be read. These are not all physical books. Most are on Kindle or Nook. I have all different genres available at all times.

What books got you all into reading?

Thanks for reading!
