What is the book that got you into reading/writing?
I feel like everybody has that one book or series which pushed them into falling in love with reading or even writing! For me, it was the Harry Potter series, I've considered reading a hobby since I was a child but it was this series that started my passion for books.
I got into reading by Tale of Two Cities, I think it made me to explore classics and fictions. I read it when I was a teenager and I didn't understand it properly but then later when I read it again, understood more. That's the book which pushed me to imaginary world.

I was pretty much born into a world with books and a mind of an avid reader so I did not particularly have any specific book that got me into reading. However, there was this one book that got me into thinking of writing and it was pretty good. Trigger warning for su!c!de, violence, bullying, assault, etc. [Warning: Do take note of this because I couldn't remember all the triggers]
1st Book: A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki
Its about the author who lives on an island that finds a hello-kitty lunch box which contains a diary of a Japanese teen girl who is writing about her 104 year old grandma and the last periods of her life. This will always be my favourite book and it made me cry, laugh and be breathtaken all at once. My only 5 star book.
I absolutely loved this book and if you want any more recommendations feel free to ask me in the replies. Happy Reading! <33

A good girls guide to murder
@Rach4 Shatter me is the best series guys..... Aaron warner is my guy ;)
@Rach4 i really love the books "The Book Thief" and "Someone Who Will Love you in all your damaged glory"
I think it was 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark?' by Sidney Sheldon, and a few more if his books, and then it was 'Wuthering Heights'. I did plenty of other reading too when I was younger. I spent hours reading newspapers and magazines. Now that i remember it, I realise what an amazing thing it was time have discovered reading as a child. I got into reading books as hobbies pretty late, perhaps in high school. But I am amazed how a hobby just happened back then! And now discovering a new hobby seems so hard.
@Rach4 i dont know if anyone’s ever heard of it, but it was this VERY old book called ‘treasure island’ or something along those lines, and it changed my life.
@Rach4 City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Harry potter is really a good series. The book series I fell in love with is the Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathy. They are some really good books, and it's about how the life of Shiva would be if he's a normal human being. It's full of action and romance and I love the series.
I am currently reading the 1st book of Harry Potter series and it’s amazing
