shelf indulgence discussion

Mine was Hannah's Hope by Karen Kingsbury. I borrowed the book from our school's library way back in high school.

Mine was probably The Selection series which is the main reason it's a comfort series for me !

i recently refound my love of reading thru acotar!

Obsession started with Percy Jackson the lightning thief, I redound my love for reading when the obsession of ACOTAR started

I kept on seeing acotar anywhere! Is it really a good read for someone who's not a fantasy reader?

Paper towns - a friend of mine gifted me this book, tho it’s not the very first book i read but my REAL obsession with reading and books started from there :)

The first book in the divergent series! I still haven’t got around to the rest of the series (nervous about the ending) but I’ve read 100’s of books since then!

i want to say it was percy jackson & the olympians, but looking back i see that i only rated those books 3 or 4 stars - clearly i didn't like them as much as i remember!
i'm pretty sure i was only there for percy & annabeth, the biggest slow burn of all time, which is probably why i was disappointed lol

I read a lot of John green when I was a teen but I stopped reading for yearsss, re found my love through acotar and from blood and ash!

i don’t exactly remember what boo got me into INTO reading but the cruel prince trilogy was what made me fall back in love with reading last year :)

I did too! I read the Nancy Drew kids versions then moved on to the actual books! Loved those !

Junie B Jones in Kindergarten. Percy Jackson in the 4th grade. Sarah Dessen. Harry Potter in the 6th grade. The Selection. Hunger Games. Divergent. Throne of Glass in 2018.

The complete opposite of everything

I think i started with harry potter when I was really young but refound my love of reading at the beginning of the pandemic with red queen!

Divergent and ACOTAR

pride and prejudice, i was OBSESSED as a kid and couldn't get enough. def explains why i love bridgerton so much...

Percy Jackson and To All the Boys I Have Loved Before

I honestly don't remember, I've been obsessed with reading since I was like 6 haha

The Percy Jackson series, and also the book Between Shades of Gray

looking for alaska for sure! such a comfort read for me and i always love rereading it!

the fault in our stars in seventh grade <3<3

i used to read a lot when i was younger but i kinda stopped during high school, but last year i fell in love with reading again by normal people and beach read <3

When I was in elementary school it was the kingdom keepers series. And then recently the after series

Nancy Drew Series by Carolyn Keene

i fell in love with reading first with the city of bones series when i was a lot younger. when the pandemic hit, i picked up harry potter and refound my love for reading through that series!!

I think it was either Bully By Pen Douglas or Dominic by L.A.Casey <3

Hunger Games was my middle school awakening to reading, I hit a slump for several years after but then the Red Queen series brought me back!

The outsiders

Spilled milk by k.l randis! I actually came across it on my fyp on tiktok and decided to pickup reading … now i just fell into the booktok rabbit hole of a nonstop growing tbr list
