When I first started fourth grade, I despised reading. Now, that very thought sounds like sacrilege and I’ve gone on amazing adventures all through the pages of books. Not only do I have fond memories of reading particular books, but I grew as both a person and a writer as a result. Generally, fantasy and science fiction have been my favorite genres, though poetry and the occasional biography have drawn me in. I even occasionally read historical books that delve into the history of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Here are a few books or series that helped to convert me from someone who hated reading to someone who, as a teen, read three to five books a week.
