Im turning 18 soon and starting a new chapter in my life.What are some books that really help with this transition or you guys think that are books that need to be read?

As never reading anything by Harrow, should I start with The Everlasting or start with her earlier books? Which books should I start with?

How did you get into reading? I know maybe a simple question, but I got into reading because of my Godmother, she was a librarian for a school board and always gifted me books for Christmas and birthdays growing up. They would always be different genres and always something i would never choose myself. This made me really appreciate stepping outside your comfort zone to find something you may like (or may not like lol). Last year, we decided to share a read together and again it was something I likely would have not picked up myself, but I was left with that feeling of appreciation for stepping outside your comfort zone and nostalgia for the old traditions manifesting itself in different ways.

So how does your story go? Have you been a reader since before you can remember? Was there a teacher or loved one that showed you the joys of reading? Or did you stumble upon reading later on in life?

Tell me, I'm nosy!!

The entirety of my thoughts after finishing chapter 1 is that Lockwood is annoying asf looool

(Listening to the version narrated by Adjoa Andoh)

Why is Lockwood making faces at aggressive dogs who have recently had pups, does he have a death wish?

And why is he just breaking into a house when the door is locked, when you knew from the start you weren’t welcome as a guest after your visit? What’s the point of this?
