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.
