The first book you've ever read challenge

Hello everyone! Yes I'm back, and today I wanted to start something I hope will catch on. So today I'll be starting this challenge called "The first book you've ever read"

The rules are simple

• Challenge at lest 1 person
• Share what was the first book you've ever read
• Why you read it in the first place
• How did it inspire you to become a writer

I thought it would be a pretty cool idea if we writers would share what originally inspired us to peruse this path of artist expression.

Okay since I'm starting this Challenge I think it would be cheeky if I didn't go first, the reason is because a lot of your writers out there have read a TON of books so it would be a little harder for you to pin point the what's and way's.

So thinking back the first book I ever really read was Curse of the Spider King: The Berinfell Prophecies Series - Book One by Christopher Hopper and Wayne Thomas Batson

I read this book when in I was in my early teens, and yes it was the first novel I had ever read for pleasure (outside of homework textbooks). Reading had always been a struggle for me, recently I found out it was partly due to the fact that I'm mildly dyslectic (plus I wasn't all that interested). So with older books like Lord of the Rings and Narnia, the way things where worded was too complicated. Besides that, it never seemed like I could find a book a superhero nerd like me wanted (It was easer to read comics actually). But then one day my older sister showed me this book while we where at a bookstore. I read the back and thought this could be interesting. A plot involving seven superpowered elves that where raised on earth, fighting in against this monster called the Spider King, and all this taking place on a world not our own. My curiosity go the better of me that day. So I gave it a try and as it turned out I would really liked it and it opened me up to a whole new kind of world.

The way this book inspired me to peruse writing was that as a read it, got to know the characters, explored a fantasy world. I thought of how this book really showed me a world that was different, a world filled with interesting things to explore. That's when I thought that if someone else could create a world that beautiful just by using word. Then maybe I could create the worlds that filled my own imagination. That maybe there was someone else out there like me who wanted to go on a adventure as much as I did, but just couldn't fine the right train to take. 

That is why I started writing, because I wanted to share the same experience I had with others. I wanted to share a world with someone else.

And that's a wrap! 

That was the first book I ever read
