    I always had my head in a book! When I was younger it was Heidi and The Famous Five! At school I even read ahead of our prescibed O Level books – Great Expecations and Day of the Triffids (probably my first paranormal type book!). I do like a good murder mystery – romance included of course!!!

    I started reading in JR. High. I had a teacher that would give rewards for reading and it got me into reading not only for the reward but because I really enjoyed it. The one book that really got me reading on my own was Fahrenheit 451.

    My mum says that when I was just four years old, she used to leave me in the living room surrounded by books, and that I could spend hours there without saying a word, just looking at the pictures… so for me, loving books has been part of my life since I remember it. I do not remember any time in my life where I was not reading something! πŸ˜‰

    An aunt sent Nancy Drew books to me for Christmas. I think this was 4th grade. That was the beginning.

    From the very beginning. I learned how to read before I went to kindergarten and have never stopped.

    I’ve always read. I really can’t remember a time when I wasn’t read to or wasn’t reading on my own. It was my main source of entertainment as a child.

    I always loved reading books. Just not the one’s we had to read in school. The reason for that is that we had to interpret the books and I made the experience that teachers hat a certain interpretation in mind and if you interpreted the book differently, they would tell you that you were “wrong”. That really discouraged me at that time.
    When I went to university that changed, here I could chose my courses and I had quite a few cool lecturers who were pretty open-minded. I think the first book I really liked was Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

    Thanks for reviewing and the giveaway. I probably started loving to read even before I remember. My Mom would have known, but she’s recently passed, yet we found those treasures in things she kept, like the fairytale books from 60 years ago, and one I remember reading over & over: “The Boy Who Ate Flowers” by Nancy Sherman (lol).

    ALWAYS! Since I could read. I still have my original version of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish – which I left out in the rain. When I was about 50 my mother actually bought me a new copy! πŸ˜› My sister ALWAYS complained that I was reading and wouldn’t play with her πŸ˜‰
