Books That Made Us Want to Read More
There is that one book or one series that started the love for reading for all of us. Some of us may have begun at a young age at home, others during school, and some even later as adults. We put up a quote from Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own and asked bookworms what book(s) got them to read more.
Harry Potter
This magical journey begins with a boy in the cupboard under the stairs. J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World has enchanted children and they’ve grown up just as Harry, Ron, and Hermione have over the course of seven books.
