That is such a sweet memory. I remember my mom reading to us at night as well. Scholastic book fairs were the best in school! I was always the only one in my class who actually bought books at the fair instead of all the toys and candy haha.

We’d take trips in to the library and get these huge stacks to bring home. I have fond memories of scholastic book fairs and Pizza Hut rewards.

I remember always loving books. I was read to a lot as a child and as soon as I was able to read it was my favorite thing.

I was in the first grade! My parents convinced me to read a book in return for watching the first Harry Potter movie and I have been hooked to reading ever since

I discovered my love for books at a pretty young age. I can’t pinpoint an exact moment, but I remember being captivated by stories and characters even in early childhood. It’s amazing how books can shape our perspectives and enrich our lives from such an early age.

Yeah, I was about the same age 11/12 when I found my love for books, It was when our school allowed us a special session of library time, there among the hundreds of books, I found that I really love reading. Also because I was quite a misfit among my peers, I preferred the company of vampires and werewolf.

For me it was not like a spark I gradually liked my book I think I was 14 when I read a book of my liking other then tag books are involved in our life from the start of it if you ask when I read my first book it would be when I was just 5 years old but I gradually turned to like books slowly increasing my reading time.

When I got my first library at 6, I still remember
Going with my mom so well. My mom was always a big reader and I loved sitting on the couch with her reading. And then I got really into reading in elementary school and it just never went away.
