So it was a few days after my mum's birthday (in January at the beginning of this year) and my mum was getting a jeans fitting in Selfridges (huge shopping centre.) For a while, my dad, sister and I traipsed around the shops, making a beeline for all the tasters. After a bit, we got bored and went outside. I saw a Waterstones across the street and my dad let me go in and buy a book. I went straight for Divergent by Veronica Roth. It was hugely popular on Instagram and I wanted to give it a try.
From then on, my reading world EXPLODED. I treasured every book I owned, found it hard to go past bookshops knowing that I wouldn't be able to get a book, and felt my happiest in the presence of books (I basically became a bibliophile.) I think it was because this was the first taste of YA I'd had since the Hunger Games, and know my mind was mature enough to fully appreciate it (I read THG at 10 and Divergent at 12.)
YA seems to be the most interesting genre I've read and hopefully I'll find some really good adult fiction to read!
(Btw guys, I'm sorry if my posts are slightly spaced out...I've recently gone back to school after the summer so I'm really tired...)
