Thanks for the credit :))🤍 I started about 2 years ago, I saw a Tiktok of a girl speaking about a broken shelf and she was reading twilight I don’t really remember the book but then I decided I want to try it so I did and yeah here I am :))

[-C]

I always read when I was younger but I kinda stopped for a few years. I started reading again a few months ago.

[Ella]

I didn't read much as a child. Though I always wanted to be the person to read a lot I never actually picked up a book haha. Then I was scrolling through TikTok a couple of years ago and saw a TikTok about books. I had one of the books that were shown in the video (Shadow and Bone :) ) but hadn't read it yet, so I decided to try. Couldn't stop after that hahah

[Erika]

this will sound very cringe but I've been reading since I can remember lol. my parents always read to me as a toddler and then once I knew how myself I quit ckly read all the books in the house. I read all the Jane Austen books because I had read all my own :) but yeah now I don't have as much time to read but I do it when I can <3

[vivienne.l]

I just picked up the Mortal Instruments and once I had started reading I didn’t stop

[star!!]

i’ve started reading since i was 3 and ever since then i’ve loved it :)

[Tatjana]

In elementary school starting with the magic treehouse books!

[altator]

I have been reading for about 3 years, but it was in January I became upset with reading.

[Jahnifa]

Since booktok made me buy tragic romances 😩

[Maria&#x1f490;]

I randomly ended up on booktok in june and bought "Call me by your name" by Andre Aciman <3

( i used to read a lott when i was younger btw )

I used to read a lot of books when I was younger, mostly little books that had a lot of pictures, but I also loved all of the "Ever After High" books by Shannon Hale! Then, one day, for some reason I just stopped reading. About six months ago, I was very bored and isolated with covid so I kind of just strolled through my bookshelf that has a lot of middle grade books but still some(by 'some I mean one or two) YA-ish ones (like One Of Us Is Lying) and I began to read that. I then felt like I was learning/living a new experience when I read a book, and while I'm on BookTok, I still haven't read pretty much any of the books on there (other than 'We Were Liars' and 'One Of Us Is Lying'), and my CR is "The Darkest Minds" by Alexandra Bracken. So I've still been working on transitioning to more BookTok books and stuff, but that's kind of my book story :)

p.s. sorry that was a lot to read!!

about a year ago when my friend made me read pjo! so happy i listened to her

[Agam ⋆˙⟡]

Last year :) I started with we were liars and got addicted.

[champagne_problems4]

I started reading on my mother's wattpad account when I was 8 and then we decided to buy me a book which is Diary of a wimpy kid I got addicted to the series and then buy more books. It turns into an addiction..

[Kelly]

I started during covid quaratine. Being stuck in the house the whole time, books were the only way I could really escape reality

[rachel]

on my third birthday :) that’s the first proof we have but my mom suspects around age 2. My summer reading lists as a kid were always over 50 books

[Max]

Ever since I can remember. As soon as I could read I was. My mom and us kids would have quiet reading time at night.

[Ariana (Aeralia)]

I have been reading since I was younger but then I stopped I have gotten back into reading a few months ago. The book that got me out of the huge slump and that helped me was “A Good Girls Guide to Murder”. What made me start reading was just the thrill of reading and the way that you so fascinated with reading, it’s like being in your own fantasy so it’s always been a part of me.

august 2021

[Mila]

as a child i read a lot but i started again in 2019 with perks of being a wallflower and i remembered how much i loved reading

[annelie :)]

I looooooved reading when I was in middle school, probably because my mom always took me to the library. But when I was 14 years old we moved and the library here sucks, so that's when I stopped reading. Fortunately a friend of mine lent me her copy of "the Perks of being a Wallflower" last summer, and that escalated really quick. I now have a full bookcase and my passion for reading is growing :)

[Elwood]

heyy, i read a lot when i was younger, but in recent years (probably from 2020) it’s been tricky to manage w time and other commitments. this year i’m beginning to get into it again and i’m looking forward to reading the ones on my tbr :)

[mills]

i loved to read when i was younger, and as i grew up i had less and less time and effort to read, but if i could read a bit i would. It wasn’t until covid started that i really got back into it (since i had a lot more time to read lol) !!

[charlotte a]

i loved to read when i was younger, i would always have a book reserved at the library, unfortunately, as i got older and my life became busier i kind of stopped reading but, when quarantine started i had a bunch of time to spare, so i restarted my reading journey

[Adriana]

Last year lol

[Pari [semi-hiatus]]

I read the entire princess diaries series when I was 12 in 5 days just to finish it really and bc I loved the movies. And then last year in May I found booktok telling me to read cruel prince and I have been addicted to making my heart hurt by reading great books ever since.

[kaylin ⋆ ☾ ⋆]

i got serious about it when i was 8 and then went through a reading slump for like 3 years and finally got back into it last year

[Riley]

i’ve always loved reading books since i was young so i cant really pinpoint an exact age, but i stopped for a while in middle school. freshman year, before booktok was a big thing was when i got back into it and found colleen hoover!!

[viv]

since birth :)

I've been reading since I can remember learning how. I started seriously reading around 2008 when I got into Twilight lol, but that's when I started writing down every book I finished and still use the same notebook to track my reading today!

[kenza ❦]

since last summer <3

[Alya]

Started when I was 8-9 years old, mostly short books for school competitions. Stopped being consistent during university years, but I started setting monthly/yearly goals a few months ago.

[keira&#x1f9df;‍♀️&#x1f300;]

i've always loved reading but i only started consistently reading in around august/september 2021

[Luna]

I’ve always loved reading but I only read like two books every two months. Since quarantine I’ve been reading weekly.

[shantel's library]

At 10 my older cousin would read with me and then by like age 11 I was in love with books

[Ella]

my dad and I always read books before bed every night and that really got me to love reading. and as I've grown up, I've developed a SERIOUS love of literature. and I owe a lot of that love to my English teachers who have helped me develop that

[[deleted user]]

ummmm like when i was 7 i readed Harry Potters actually. and seriously it started about half-year ago i think????

[Katelyn]

I started reading in December. Honestly the thing that really got me interested in books, was book hauls from YouTubers that I watched. Also to make the odds even better I started with a amazing fast paced book🤩
