You were a non-reader, preferring to watch movies and series rather than touch a book.

But then, someone recommends a novel they think you’ll like, you flip through it and love it!

In case it’s the first part of a trilogy or series, and you decide to read the whole series (or at least read all the parts you get your hands on and, in case you can’t get your hands on the last ones, you decide to look for spoilers on the internet).

That was my experience with Warriors by Erin Hunter.

What’s yours?

    Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan. Saw the cover in elementary school with my mom. Probably not age appropriate but amazingly well done. I can’t recommend it enough as a series. Vampires, destiny, time travel, war, love, loss… so well done and never got the attention it deserved. A movie came out that I refused to see because this series would’ve been rated R. John Riley played my favorite character and I knew there was no way it would do the books any justice. I wish for this series to become popular again. Darren Shan is an excellent writer

      This was gonna be my answer too. First YA series that had more of an impact on me that was picked because of my interests.

      I remember his other series being ok but I aged out to adult horror by that point.
