It was lucky that you discovered reading, because if you had never learned to love reading, then you would have never been inspired to write yourself. You owe your sister a lot :) mmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-22057088820609855632011-12-29T18:09:12.834-08:002011-12-29T18:09:12.834-08:00I still remember lying awake at night and wishing ...I still remember lying awake at night and wishing I could make myself dream about A Wrinkle in Time. That was the first series I read where I hated reaching the end of the book because I didn't want it to end.<br /><br />I didn't really turn into an avid reader until college, though, when I read all those cheesy bodice-rippers :)<br /><br />Great post, MaryAnn.

I've been trying to go back and figure out which book was my first fantasy, and I can't do it. <br /><br />I keep remembering more, and I'm not sure where they began. Possibly with Half Magic by Edward Eager, which I've loved ever since I can remember.Melanie Crousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353025724182677932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-29402472687231474732011-12-27T17:30:10.024-08:002011-12-27T17:30:10.024-08:00Your sister does sound awesome.

I'm still trying to get mine to like genre fiction, but it's an uphill battle. <br /><br />It's fun to read about everyone's first favorite fantasy novels.Sabrina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218305456791199409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-23328158171515813892011-12-27T13:37:47.783-08:002011-12-27T13:37:47.783-08:00Wonderful.

I think I mentioned it before, but mine was Dragonsong by Anne McCaffery. I can still remember that rush of getting completely drawn into it.<br />Oh, and you have an awesome sister.Susan Buttarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456005411871122298noreply@blogger.com
