My Reading Journey

I never wanted to read novels when I was a kid. I thought it was stupid and boring and a waste of time (Boy, was I wrong! Shame on you, young Prys!!). Honestly, big books with no pictures were intimidating to 10-year-old Pryscilla.

So it all started with Twilight...

Twilight


In freshman year of high school, people were really into Twilight and I just ignored the hype because I was so not into reading novels (weird, ignorant 14 year old self). In junior year, everything changed because the movie had came out and I don't know, I felt the urge to read it. Needless to say, I fell in love with the saga. I am still waiting for Midnight Sun! I was definitely Team Edward!

Pretty Little Liars



I marathoned the first two seasons first and I saw that it was based from a book. I bought the first for and collected the first 12 books and need the last 4 to complete the series. It was a fun read at first, but it kind of dragged on because A keeps changing and I hope the real end will be a great reveal. My favorite A as of right now is the twin, which is on the second arc of the series from book 5-8.

The Hunger Games



Then came the Hunger Games. I just got into college when this book was loved by everyone and their mothers. I go in a bus and someone beside me was reading Catching Fire. I talked to clients (I used to work in a nail salon) and they suggested The Hunger Games. I was recommended to read this book by my brother's childhood friend. I read it and loved it, of course. My favorite book was Catching Fire, and so far, that's my favorite movie out of the currently released!

Harry Potter



I love all Harry Potter movies since it first came out, but I never read the books. I know I attempted to read it during the times I spent in the library. But again, big book and big words did not appeal to my younger self. When I started to really get into YA fiction and watch booktubers, everyone LOVES the book, so I just had to. It was also around the time Deathly Hallows pt. 1's release and I had the last book at hand since forever ago because my brother received it on its released day (for unknown reasons). I read it and finished that ginormous book and read the HP series from the start!

So for all you teens out there who thinks reading is boring, try these for a start. In addition to these beauties, I do highly recommend the Divergent Trilogy or The Lunar Chronicles.

Have a bookful day and happy reading, lovelies!
