Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it?
I convinced my brother to read the Twilight books when I was 17 and he was 28, he's always been curious about the books I read and books are something we do talk about (he's a big supporter of the blog) and he really liked Twilight, he was surprised by how different teen novels are now compared to when he was younger. He doesn't love every book I recommend him but he does like a fair bit. He's also a big fan of Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series and The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.
Funny how much The Mortal Instruments keeps coming up in people's responses to this question! I also got someone to read it recently, though I actually liked the movie better...
ReplyDeleteOur book club encourages reading just about EVERYTHING! We vote on monthly group reads to discuss. Sometimes we hate 'em; sometimes we love 'em. The most important thing is to have fun, right?
ReplyDeleteI love that you got your older brother to read - and that he still does! I tried getting my younger brother to read and it succeeded for like a month. But for that month he was really into it and making a list of all my recommendations.

I gave up on The Mortal Instruments series a while back. I might start reading it again though. I've been seeing a lot of it recently.

That's cool that your brother read it. My nephew actually got me to read Twilight and then I got three of my friends to read it.

ReplyDeleteI'm an existing follower, but I'm going to try to get your button for a new page I'm making on my blog.
Aw that's pretty awesome yall have books in common and that he'll give them a go :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that you can share that with an older brother. I spend a lot of time trying to convince my little sister to pick up a book and haven't been massively successful so far! I'm following on Bloglovin' and GFC! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great weekend!
