Re: Did you grow up reading?
However, I did enjoy reading more complicated books when I did get a hold of them, so my parents took advantage of that. My dad and I read all of the Chronicles of Narnia when I was seven, and we would always have an "advanced" book to read a chapter or two before bed time after that. I didn't begin reading on my own until I was in seventh grade. My parents and I had watched all of the Harry Potter movies that were out at that point, and I wanted to read the source material. After that, I began reading some for fun. The book the Giver, from my eighth grade English class, though, was the book that sent me into a reading frenzy.

I also remember reading the Chronicles of Narnia when I grew up, I took it in turns reading it with familyjazzygirl625 wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 20:25 Growing up, I was never super into reading. I could read fast and well (according to school reading comprehension exams), but never got terribly into it. I think that part of the issue was that my school limited which books you were allowed to check out by age and not reading level, so most of the books I had access to were boring to me.

In my teens I read everything from SE Hinton to Shakespeare.
I started writing in college, and that's when I decided my favorite genre was fantasy, and I immersed myself in reading and writing that genre.

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
