Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).
Early middle school, I went through a historical fiction craze followed by a classic trend. I was an avid reader those days. When I entered senior high, however, I stopped 'fun' reading altogether because once I started a book I couldn't stop reading. It... took away from much needed homework time.
Fall of 2010, I decided that it had to stop. I couldn't just take away YA fiction from my life. I love reading too much, and I felt that I needed fun in my life. So I went online to B&N and browsed YA books and bought Paranormalcy by Kiersten White and Nightshade by Andrea Cremer.
I read Paranormalcy first. It not only brought YA fiction back into my life, it got me into a paranormal craze. f taught me that werewolves haven't been used up to the max. That werewolves are still in and still have style.
What about you? What books have/currently influence(d) your lives?

Hippies, Beauty, and Books. Oh My!
I loved both of those books so much! Nightshade was just amazing (I finally got my hands on a copy of Wolfsbane!) and Paranormalcy was pure fun! Awesome picks for your answer!
