How were you introduced to reading?

Christine Riccio My Nana is a huge reader. She would always have a book on her person when I was growing up. I was so excited to be able to read because of how much she loved it! So the second I started reading in school, I asked my mom to drive me to the bookstore so I could get beginner-reading level books to bring to my Nana's house and read (show her how I could read).

My love for stories grew from there. My third and fourth-grade teacher's introduced me to Roald Dahl books - they were my first experience with fantasy novels, and I was instantly obsessed. I hunted down all the magic books I could from that point on. <3
