What made you love books and what was the first that made you pursue this love further?
My first was by Barbara Cartland.
What's yours?

My mother starting teaching me to read when I was 5 and even at that age I was hooked and it's still a great part of my life. I can't pick and pick any particular book because I read anything I could lay my hands on until I discovered Science Fiction when I was about 10 years old when I found a copy of Isaac Asimov's book Foundation in the "Adult" section of my then local library. After that I was a goner and still am to this day over 50 years later.

Now SF is still around 45% of my reading with the other 55% covering a wide range of subjects and interests.

I honestly can't remember a time when I couldn't read. My parents worked with me as soon as I could sit up alone and 'hold' a book. I grew up reading a lot of classic fairy tales and children's books, branched into YA, then into teen romance novels. I never looked back.

Nowadays I read Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, a little Historical Romance and a few authors in other genres. I am well and truly addicted to reading and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I remember that my mother would always read when she could. I would wake up in the morning and find her reading so I always thought that reading would be a great thing to do if my mother did it all the time. I asked her for a book, she took me to the bookstore and the rest is history. I got Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, so yeah.
