Follow Friday: August 5, 2011

 
Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).
 
 
A. What really got me into starting to read YA a lot more and eventually inspiring me to start a blog was reading those kick ass, top notch, YA books. For example, after I read the Hunger Games, I kept trying to find a book that would impress me as much as that book did. Then from there, I just couldn't stop the addiction and became an avid reader. Which eventually led up to me being frustrated that my friends didn't share my equal book worm infection so I started blogging. And that's how it began, folks.
 
The books that started it all?
Hunger Games
The Host
Hush, Hush
 
From then on, I went a bit loco.
