Percy Jackson and Rick's other Middle grade series made me embrace my inner mythology geek :) I mean, I might even study Latin and Greek next year, lol. So yeah, Percy's important to me.
1. Addicted 2. The Golden Compass - Philip Pullman 3. Hardcover without dust jacket 4. Reading made me a better and happier person, even with all the dead characters. 5. Skulduggery Pleasant books. They're my favorite and I love rereading them. 6. My mom was reading Twilight and some other books and I hated reading, but i grabbed Twilight anyway and I didn't pass page 12. But when I saw The Golden Compass book (I had already watched the movie), I made my mom buy it. She didn't want it and ask me if I really wanted it and I said yes. Now we have a huge bookshelf filled with books. 7. I think I choose The Golden Compass too, cause before it, I hated reading and after it, I've become a reading addicted. Last year I read 80 books, so...
I worked at barnes and noble for 2 years and it was so cute seeing the parents and teachers who worked there part time with me and their children always came in. That discount your talking about THO, I miss that.
if i had to define myself as a reader with one word it would be "attached". I get soooo emotionally attached to certain characters and stories. also, my reading adiction started when i was 10 and read the Twilight Saga lol
i randomly came across your book haul one day and the way you described the books and were so into them made me order them ALL! and now im always reading !!! thankyou!
I agree that a puppy is vital for a good reading experience. Narnia was also the first series that I finished on my own since my dad read me the first three harry potter books
i wish i could remember the first book that really got me into reading but unfortanetly i cant, however last year june time i hadnt read anything new out side of distopian fiction for a few years and I found this channel which opened my eyes to books in a whole new way, so this channel will always have a special place in my heart
I am the same way with loving adventure books and being the complete opposite kind of person. But I think that is most definitely why I love adventure so much :)
The Hex Hall series and Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick changed my perspective on reading. I use to not enjoy reading. My seventh grade teacher help so much in choosing the right books for me.
I've always loved reading since they started teaching us letters and words in preschool but when I was in first grade the Amelia bedealia series made me fall in love and now I read none stop
I loved this video. Your talking is so honest I really enjoyed it. Some books that shaped me are Poe's stories, Harry Potter, A.S King as an author, changed me, Persona Normal, and Pride and Prejudice :)
I got into books at a really young age! I remember being in first grade and reading books for this point system we had, and I could not stop reading! We had these little boxes that we got to pick out full with magazines and short novels (like Cam Jansen and Junie B Jones) and my teacher got frustrated because I flew through them all before the first semester was over! She had to send me to the library to get bigger books!
I think Fairytales for Wilde Girls is definitely the book that has shaped kind of my entire identity. It is a contemporary YA fairytale of sorts, there are no darker retellings of fairytales, and it uses such beautiful languages to tell those fairytales. All twists and turns. At that time I had fallen out of reading because I was still in the learning stages of English and felt afraid of books because I couldn't understand them, but Fairytales for Wilde Girls definitely made me fall in love with the English language and made me want to create beautiful stories, in English. So it has made me into the writer and reader I am today.
This was so interesting!! My mum has always loved reading and that's where I developed my love! Recently Rick Riordan and his amazingness has definitely encouraged me also :D
The book that kind of sparked my reading when I was younger was The Boxcar Children or the Magic Tree House series (I read both in second grade) but the series that got me into YA was definitely Twilight 😍
Hell yes Narnia! When I was about 5 my Sunday evenings were all about sitting down to watch the BBC TV series and after that it was probably one of the first series I read myself.
I have so much trouble listing favourite books since it feels like ranking your children. There are so many books I love but 'The Little Prince' will always have a special place in my heart. The first time I read it I was quite young, but I remember feeling like it was 'my' book and having this moment where I thought life made sense.
I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Mom and Dad read me Charlotte's Web long before I could read it myself. The series I remember most though was the Sweet Valley series by Francine Pascal. It really fostered my love of books and stories.
The book that got me into reading would be The Tale Of Despereaux. I first read it in elementary school then I would read it all through middle school. Then brought me to find some other books as well.
My mom taught me and my siblings how to read and write before I was four years old that's how I started reading. The book that really grasped my attention for more than just entertainment was The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Just seeing how hard it was for this woman to not be her true self because of the standards of society had me really think beyond the words and that's when I truly fell in love with reading. Since then a book was never just "a book" for me anymore.
Amusingly enough the books that got me to start reading were goosebumps and bailey school kids (since I don't read much horror or mystery now). I think it was the covers and titles and my sister wanting me to read the same books as her. Then after an excursion to the library, my sister and I would read whatever we got from the library. It just became a habit that persists today :D
My mum introduced me to the famous five series by Enid Blyton which got me into reading but my dad got me into Percy Jackson when I was older which was when I became an avid reader and expanded what genres and types of books I read. I love your videos :)
I can't believe I haven't read the Chronicles of Narnia yet. I definitely have to get on that soon. Waiting for it be available from the library. I also really enjoyed Harry Potter. I haven't read them in years. I've got to reread them soon. Need to read Jane Eyre as well.
Has anyone here read "Song of the Lioness"??? It was the first fantasy series I ever read and really got me into reading more of the genre. 11 years later I still love reading them!
Was anyone else a fan of The Advetures of the Bailey School Kids by Debbie Dadey? I loved those book so much when I was little they sparked my love for reading.
The series that has impacted me the most is definitely Just one day by Gayle Forman, it was a life changing experience and honestly if anyone who hasn't read it yet really should
You know what book I think you'd really enjoy? The angelmaker by Stefan Brijs. It's originally written in Dutch but it surely is translated and it might be a bit difficult to get your hands on (I don't think every bookstore just sells it) but my goodness. It is soooo good. It has such a well-thought, pretty complex storyline. It's about a doctor in the 20th century messing with science basically. This book is sooo interesting, especially if you've got some knowledge about the Bible or christianity. I am a die-hard fantasy reader and I barely enjoy anything else but this book... Ah. I hope you'll check it out because it's just so good :)
Guys I'm so sorry! I didn't realise it because when I read it I knew that particular thing was going to happen and it was more of a "how is this going to happen" then a "what is going to happen" plot. I just didn't realise but fortunately, there is sooooo much more to this plot and this book and you kinda get to read about the thing I said pretty quick when reading the book. I'm serious you should still read it :)
The book that first got me into reading was Perfect Chemistry. I'm not a person who is really into romance books but I enjoyed the series, though in my opinion the first book was the best because the other two were pretty much the same.
I love the no 1 ladies detective agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. the book gives a unique perspective on a large African woman written by a Scottish man. it is one of the few books I have read in which the fat person is proud to be themselves and does not see a need to change. it is also my go to comfort series.
It was my first series. I started reading it even before Harry Potter! And I feel that is SO underrated. I re-read the whole serie a couple of years ago and I still related to the story. It looks all princess-y and everything but it's not, it's just a cool story and Mia was a kickass heroin before it was cool! :D
I am not sure actually :D I read Harry Potter at a very young age and enjoyed it but I was not a reader yet. Maybe Twilight or The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare :)
La vie devant soi by Romain Gary (Émile Ajar) is the one that's really stuck with me and affected me. I know it's been translated to English but I can never remember the title.
I started the magician's nephew then searched how the whole series is to be read and then i stopped. I never knew that The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe was the first book.
When I was young I really enjoyed reading Astrid Lindgren, and as I got a little older The Immortals series by Alyson Noël and The Hunger Games made me want to buy books and read them purely for fun instead of reading only school library books during our scheduled reading time.
Picturing baby Regan picking out 10 books for her birthday and Christmas is very heart warming for some reason :)
i know right?
If I ever get stuck in a reading rut, Regan always inspires me to read again 😍🙈 I get so overly excited its disgusting
I was literally just coming down to the comments to say this ☺️ virtual high five! ✋
+Samantha Boarer me too! when I am going through a book slump, I watch her and just be so excited to read again! love Reagan so much
Such a great Tag. C.S. Lewis is awesome!
Percy Jackson and Rick's other Middle grade series made me embrace my inner mythology geek :) I mean, I might even study Latin and Greek next year, lol. So yeah, Percy's important to me.
Chronicles of Narnia started my love for reading as well! 👌🏼📖📚
Chronicles of Narnia was actually one of the first series I read to completion as well!
Jane Eyre! What a perfect answer. That's been a pretty influential book for me, too. How could it not be!?
My mom doesn't really read a lot, but she ALWAYS read to me and took me to the library and the bookstore and supported my love of reading
i love this channel , i get excited when their videos popping in my notifications

The Golden Compass - one love

I absolutely agree, loving the adventure books whilst in my life everything has to be planned! xxx
The chronicles of narnia was my all time favourite as a kid!! I loved the magicians nephew as well!! Great video :)
That adventure thing in contrast with being a planner in life was mad relatable. Excited to do this tag & enter the book tube community. :D
Jaquliene Wilson got me into reading when I was about 8-9! She was my favourite author as a child and I met her twice!! ✌🏽
Jacqueline Wilson's books was what me into reading, I still love them to this day! And the Sleepover Club books!
Some of my favorite childhood books are Hello god it's me Margaret and all the babysitter club books.
if i had to define myself as a reader with one word it would be "attached". I get soooo emotionally attached to certain characters and stories.
also, my reading adiction started when i was 10 and read the Twilight Saga lol

A Series Of Unfortunate Events had me hooked. Feel in love with books and the different worlds we can jump into.
I am the same way with loving adventure books and being the complete opposite kind of person. But I think that is most definitely why I love adventure so much :)
the book that changed me as a person was definitely the Da Vinci Code . Dan Brown just has a special place in my heart
Ive heard so many good things abt that book! but idk if it is something id like :D
same here, he's my first auto-read author and my all time favourite ❤
me too :D
The Hex Hall series and Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick changed my perspective on reading. I use to not enjoy reading. My seventh grade teacher help so much in choosing the right books for me.

I love The Magician's Nephew!! I thought I was the only one who liked that book!
harry potter reminds me of my childhood as well, I was a child of 25 when I first picked up philosophers stone...good times!
I loved this video. Your talking is so honest I really enjoyed it. Some books that shaped me are Poe's stories, Harry Potter, A.S King as an author, changed me, Persona Normal, and Pride and Prejudice :)

I love learning the origin stories about reading, the books that pushed me into it was PJO.

The Secret Series got me into reading. Definitely one of the best books I have read in all time!
Seriously!! If I become a booktuber I wish to be like you!! so good recommendations and reviews!! ❤❤

Awesome video! I'm totally sharing this with my ELA kiddos. Thank you!
Amazing Tag!! I wanna do it, it's so interesting :) love your answers and I agree with HP the ultimate comfort read
Prince Caspian was always my favourite
My mum introduced me to the famous five series by Enid Blyton which got me into reading but my dad got me into Percy Jackson when I was older which was when I became an avid reader and expanded what genres and types of books I read. I love your videos :)
yes famous five!
oh my gosh!! Enid blyton was 100% what got me into reading as well
I can't believe I haven't read the Chronicles of Narnia yet. I definitely have to get on that soon. Waiting for it be available from the library. I also really enjoyed Harry Potter. I haven't read them in years. I've got to reread them soon. Need to read Jane Eyre as well.

i completely forgot about narnia until you brought it up again!
The series that has impacted me the most is definitely Just one day by Gayle Forman, it was a life changing experience and honestly if anyone who hasn't read it yet really should
I feel the SAME EXACT WAY about Jane Eyre, man!
You are so lucky to have such a cool mum
The Once and Future King, The Martian Chronicles, Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle.
You know what book I think you'd really enjoy? The angelmaker by Stefan Brijs.

I hope you'll check it out because it's just so good :)
That one is really good! You should read it. It is also nice to read books by non-English speaking authors (:
I read it ages ago and loved it, but you kind of spoiled the storyline now, didn't you?
added to my tbr now ...Dear God
Just checked the goodreads page for this, and yes unfortunately, you spoiled it.
Guys I'm so sorry! I didn't realise it because when I read it I knew that particular thing was going to happen and it was more of a "how is this going to happen" then a "what is going to happen" plot. I just didn't realise but fortunately, there is sooooo much more to this plot and this book and you kinda get to read about the thing I said pretty quick when reading the book.

Box Car Children and Goosebumps !
The book that first got me into reading was Perfect Chemistry. I'm not a person who is really into romance books but I enjoyed the series, though in my opinion the first book was the best because the other two were pretty much the same.
Narnia! I'm re-reading The Magician's Nephew and Digory and Polly are the bestest. Their arguments are great.
I love the no 1 ladies detective agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. the book gives a unique perspective on a large African woman written by a Scottish man. it is one of the few books I have read in which the fat person is proud to be themselves and does not see a need to change. it is also my go to comfort series.
The series that brought me to reading was the Cherub series@
I think The Shadow of the Wind by Zafón is the book that totally changed me as a reader. Try it out if you haven't read it yet!
I already know this is gonna be so good! 🙌🏼
jane eyre is my fave!
same! it also shaped me so much as a reader and changed my life. it will forever be my favorite book :].
It's just perfect. Seriously feminist and with an amazing love story
Leah Falcone yes! that's one of my favorite things about it the feminist ideology that's SOO ahead of her time! ROCHESTOR!!
The Princess Diaries, anyone? Meg Cabot? xD
YASSSS 😍😍😍
yassss, i started reading this series when i was 7
It was my first series. I started reading it even before Harry Potter! And I feel that is SO underrated. I re-read the whole serie a couple of years ago and I still related to the story. It looks all princess-y and everything but it's not, it's just a cool story and Mia was a kickass heroin before it was cool! :D
Love from puppies. One of the best kinds of love.
Regan I love the way you talk hahahahahahha i feel like we'd be great friends
The Twilight series and the Harry Potter series are the reason I became a reader and the reason I found BookTube.
Harry Potter for sure, also a series of unfortunate events
You should read the Skulduggery Pleasant series
Have you ever tried Terry Pratchett's Discworld series? Is really amazing :)
alredy super excited for the video
Harry Potter was the first thing I have ever read in my life. I was 7 years old that time.
What book got you guys into reading? Mine was The Selection series! They'll always have a special place in my heart.
Possibly "John Dies at the End" although some of my favourites are also "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and "Roadside Picnic"
I am not sure actually :D I read Harry Potter at a very young age and enjoyed it but I was not a reader yet. Maybe Twilight or The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare :)
I'm currently reading City of Lost Souls!
The Twilight series. I know they're not perfect but I'll always love them
never heard of that book.. what genre does it belong to?
Ironically enough, I just came here after scrolling through Regan's Goodreads page
La vie devant soi by Romain Gary (Émile Ajar) is the one that's really stuck with me and affected me. I know it's been translated to English but I can never remember the title.
I started the magician's nephew then searched how the whole series is to be read and then i stopped. I never knew that The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe was the first book.
Cool video, it was great to get to know you a lil bit more
What you do when you find a book boring? do you finish it just because you feel about dropping the read or you just stop and move to another one?
Harry potter to all of this 😊
Should i read harry potter or city of bones?
You're lovely.
irrelevant, but your top is so cute! where did you get it?!
Revelation Space.
what camera are you using regan?
Have you ever thought of writing your own book?
Yey!
👍
first! ps. love your videos :)
When I was young I really enjoyed reading Astrid Lindgren, and as I got a little older The Immortals series by Alyson Noël and The Hunger Games made me want to buy books and read them purely for fun instead of reading only school library books during our scheduled reading time.
VOTE TRUMP 2016!!!
Obnoxious. Horrific taste, also.
Cool video, it was great to get to know you a lil bit more
