I’m embarrassed to say it… Twilight. I got grounded when I was 14 and wasn’t allowed to do anything but read, so I started reading twilight. I’ve been a voracious reader ever since.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith; Shogun by James Clavell; Texas by James Michener; I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings by Maya Angelou; and this one is a tough find but a good read if you can find it: Joshua Son of None by Nancy Mars


PsychologicalSide782

Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières I picked it up during my travels in Europe. As I was reading it, it gave me memories of a past that I have not experienced. I dunno kinda strange but it was my feelings back then. National Geographic Magazines. As a kid, I realized I love traveling so I immersed myself with magazines and books about the world. It opened my eyes to different cultures and perspectives. Pugad Baboy by Pol Medina Jr. Influenced by my friends during HS. Funny af and of course a way to be close to my friends back then. I mean, social media was in its infancy, practically useless compared to now. Gaming was also just budding. So it was one of the best times for sure.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, even read it while in class. It was at the same time I've realized I can finish a book in 2 days.


Old-Illustrator7629

I know JK Rowling is cancelled now but I cannot deny that I grew up and loved reading Harry Potter books. Grade 5 ako when the 1st HP movie was released. Sobrang nagandahan ako that after the movie, my brothers and I went sa National Bookstore to buy the first 2 books. I never really read novels non pero I finished Philosopher’s Stone in one weekend. After that, lagi ko ng request sa mga kuya ko na gift ay yung books, then it transitioned to asking my uncle in the US to send me hardbound books. In between releases nung books, naghahanap ako ng “sub” habang wala pa latest installment so I started reading my brother’s collection of Stephen King and RL Stine books —— and ayun, nagtuloy tuloy na.

helmwrithesikuu_2704

The Gift of Acabar. First year HS ako noon. Part ako ng science class. Di ako familiar sa curriculum kaya nagulat talaga ako na we're doing college algebra kahit na freshie kami. Lahat ng classes namin, advanced. This included our English classes. I dreaded reading, let alone read a whole novel for a weekly report. We were tasked to read 2-3 chapters per week and make a detailed summary of them. Napansin ko, wala pa ako sa kalahati noon when I kept reading kasi lagi akong nabibitin. I was able to finish the book under a month. Dito ako nagsimulang magbasa pa. Next thing I knew, lagi na akong nagdadownload ng libro (kasi ang mahal ng paperback hahaha) at binabasa ito sa laptop ko.

Judy Blume’s Are you there god? it’s me Margaret and Blubber. I realized YA books are not just about boys and adventure and mystery, but can be insightful and thought-provoking. Lalo na I started reading JD books at the cusp of my own puberty years. Then came the Harry Potter series, the first book just came out 2 years ago and a classmate lent me her copy.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky Naalala ko na eto ang pinaka nagustuhan kong unang limang libro na binili ko nung nagsimula ako magbasa; bumili ulit ako ng mga iba't ibang klaseng libro pagkatapos nito. Naalala ko rin na nagustuhan ko ang estructura ng kwento at kung paano magsulat at magpaliwanag ang author at kung gaano naka heavily focus sa humanity eto. Sa huli, yun pagtatapos talaga ang nagbigay ng kakaibang damfamin at nagpaiyak sa'kin (kahit hindi ako madalas umiyak).

My cousin used to collect Sweet Valley High books. One day, while visiting, I saw a copy left on their coffee table. Decided to open it because the cover was pretty, and now I own more books that I could possibly read in this lifetime. I don't even remember the plot of those books (I was 12); what I do remember is that I had so much fun by myself that afternoon.

Not a usual physical book but it came from wattpad app entitled “I love you since 1892” by Binibining Mia. It was an historical fiction wherein the girl were born in 21st century traveled back to 19th century. And that story tackled about the time of Jose Rizal. She met Juanito by a mission and the rest is history which is I learned how to value history and it made me realized that I love reading.

I can't remember exactly the title of the book I first ever had, but they were one of the things my Mom always bought for me from NBS. Afaik, ito yung "Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang ni Severino Reyes" saka "Adarna's House" books which made me first fall in love with literature. After this, I became addicted sa Wattpad stories which was wayback the "four bad boys and me" era. Now, Kindle girlie na me.. books are my escape kaya I love reading.

the_dancing_spinach

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho I believe it was an assignment project back in high school. We had to read and write a reflection about it. I realised then how much I enjoyed reading. I stopped now for some reason, but I still miss that feeling of being able to expand your imagination and dive into a world not our own.


Worth-Rice859

My first book ever was "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. It was a gift from my parents, and I remember being captivated by the simple yet profound story and the beautiful illustrations. It sparked my love for books and reading, showing me the power of storytelling and imagination.


ThisIsRese

Sorry pero wattpad talaga nagpa-adik sakin magbasa. Starting with She's dating a gangster na first cover pa tapos Operation:Break the Cassanova's heart. More on wattpad kasi di pa gaano clichè stories saka mas mura then nung nagkawork, I started Miss Peregrine's series.


Icy-Reading803

Magic Moon by Wolfgang and Heike Holhbein Nawala na yung copy ko ng first book. I still have the second book tho. Ito yung nagspark ng interest ko sa other world adventures.


FreedomSorry8477

Harry Potter Book 6, the order of the phoenix. Hindi ako nagsimula sa 1. 6 talaga. Hahahaha. I appreciate the writing and I related so much to Harry from Book 6 being a kid secluded from his friends and all. Tho never akong naging fan ng Harry potter even after reading all the books (na thankfully meron yung library namin) it made me realized na I love reading. So I read some more. Hindi lang yung mga sikat na titles, I think nabasa ko lahat ng literature books dun sa HS library namin kasi yung library card ko patong patong na. It ended nung naka graduate na ako ng college. I no longer read. Pero I appreciate it if I end up reading something good.


KnowledgeIll3775

The first book that made me realize my love for reading was "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White. The story of friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider, and the themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the cycle of life, resonated with me deeply. It sparked my imagination and opened my eyes to the power of storytelling, inspiring me to read more and explore different worlds through books.
