"What book influenced or changed your life? How did it influence/change you?"
The two series that changed my life would have to be Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and Anita Blake by Laurell K. Hamilton. When I was really young I would read all the time because I had an older sister who loved to read and she had entire bins full of books that I could explore. When I got to high school though, I stopped reading for pleasure. I discovered the Harry Potter books some time later and from the first book I immediately fell in love with the world and the characters. Harry Potter helped me to rediscover my love for books! The Anita Blake series introduced me to the wonderful world of urban fantasy!
Yay for Harry Potter!
ReplyDeleteI think the one book that seriously changed my life was Wintergirls...probably the fact that I got through reading it :)
I love seeing Harry Potter on this hop. It's like we're all connected. :)
ReplyDeleteTwo completely different kinds of books! :)
ReplyDeleteHopping on by. Anybody with Harry Potter and Doctor Who mentioned in the first two posts I see is pretty awesome in my book =D Harry Potter was on my list as well, though it was difficult to choose just one so it was joined by three others.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!

Ah, definitely Harry Potter. The books didn't get me back into reading since I've always loved to read, but they took me back to children's/YA literature.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found you via the Hop!
Hopping on over to say hi. Harry Potter has been my favorite since the last one came out and my cousins and I had a race who finished first (I won, by the way). To see my response to this week's question, hop on by to:

Happy reading!
This will probably come of something as a surprise but the book that changed/influenced my life (more than any other) is a non-fiction book. I know we all focus on novels and the fanciful fiction we love to read but The Four Work Week is the book that gets all the credit. I know the title sounds fictional but it really isn’t.
