A small reading through the ages

Hey!

I was trying to think of a good first real post so I thought I would talk about some of the reasons I started reading and some of those childhood Authors

My first real reading experience was with the author Margaret Mahy, who is from my native New Zealand. I loved her children's books and I finally realized what books existed!
I read a lot after that at primary school (6-13) I used the library, got into books like Girls rock and the Magic school bus. I feel like my genre choice then was huge! I read horror, contemporary, fantasy and even non fiction. I just wanted to learn and reading was my way of doing so but also to escape.

A Moving Novel

Favorite Series Ever

1st Book in The Series

Once I got a little bit older I moved on to Harry Potter by JK Rowling and A series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket which are still some of my favorite series.There wasn't just fiction, one book I really liked growing up was Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah based on the authors life as a small child after she caused the death of her mother through child birth (go read it people) And it made me move forward in my reading and definitely change the genres I liked, a lot of humor and a large amount of fantasy, one of these being Confessions of Georgia Nicholson by Louise Rennison! (A must read I might say such a great series for like 14 and up I guess).

I feel like my favorite genres would be fantasy or high fantasy and I have stopped reading horror and as much contemporary. Booktube has helped though to have a larger range of books that I want to read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves reading. I follow a number of people such as Polandbananasbooks, littlebookowl and jessiethereader to name a few but they give great advice on books.

All books are out now!

LOVE THESE COVERS!

I have discovered some of my name favorite authors such as Cassandra Clare, author of he Mortal Instruments Series (Plus heaps more!) and Tahereh Mafi author of the Shatter Me Series, though the downside is my to be read list is crazy long!


So just a small intro to the genres I liked growing up and some books I really loved

I hope you are doing well and have a great day
Peace :)
