Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it?
Yes! I've done this quite a few times, but the one that stands out the most is probably my first one.
It was a recommendation to my little sister's best friend. She HATED reading with a passion, and I convinced her to read Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman. I knew that the interactive style would hook her.
She LOVED it, even if she was semi-terrified of the videos. She's gone on to read a few other series I've recommended to her. She's not an avid reader now, but she does read for fun sometimes.
That was the whole goal! To get her to see the fun in reading. Mission accomplished!
How about you, what was your first recommmend?

Our book club encourages reading just about EVERYTHING! We vote on monthly group reads to discuss. Sometimes we hate 'em; sometimes we love 'em. The most important thing is to have fun, right?

I'll definitely follow for a follow :) It's a good book, extremely original, and you'll love the interactive content!
DeleteThat's great you were able to get a non-reader to read something and have her enjoy it.

It's truly one of the best feelings ever! I would say i'm a new follower but I think i've been following you for a while! (I possibly just added you to my bloglovin'. I've finally decided to use that as my blogroll, it's so user friendly...)
DeleteMy sister isn't a really big reader either but then she discovered The Hunger Games and TFIOS, with a little help from me ;), and at least she appreciates those. Now all I need is to get her addicted to even more! I'm a new Bloglovin' follower! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you had a great weekend!

You know, I actually haven't read TFIOS yet. I know I'll bawl my eyes out because I lost my papa to cancer. But I really want to read it so maybe this summer I'll get a tissue box and sit down with it.
