    I use to hate reading when I was younger because I found it difficult, but now I read all the time and my favourite book is Outlander which I found at a rough time in my life and it helped me get through it. I think my favourite children's book is anything Michael Morpurgo because it was the first proper book I read when I was about 8-9 years old and it was War Horse which is my altogether favourite book.

    @abbygrace2 4 года назад

    This was such a good video idea! I didn’t start REALLY getting into reading until late high school/early college and so there was a lot I missed out of during the prime! One of them for me was also Twilight, which I still haven’t read but I want to! Another one was also Harry Potter, which I read last summer and LOVED obvi! And a final one I’ll mention is the Percy Jackson and others of Rick Riordan, which I still haven’t read! So funny that some of them were the same for us ☺️

    Hey Sasha! I was wondering if you could give me some advice about publishing. I have been writing a book and I’m probably not going to be fully done, (editing and everything) until maybe late summer next year? But I was wondering if you could provide me any tips about it. I don’t even know where to start for people to see it.

    I'm disappointed in myself that I started reading His Dark Materials trilogy but didn't finish the last book and now I had to start over because I don't remember most of it (especially the second book) and I wanted to remind myself what it's about before the HBO series.

    I struggled with reading in elementary school, and into middle school. I read HP in 2007, but aside from that, I didn’t care for reading. It wasn’t until my junior year of HS(2011) when I read Percy Jackson. I re read them senior year, and from there, I discovered Mortal Instruments and Divergent, and so many other books. Honestly, I wouldn’t be the reader I am now if I hadn’t read Percy Jackson!
