Beautiful story! "I fell in love with reading" - I really don't think there's a better way to put this.
In school, I had to do a presentation about a book and I don't remember how or where the book came from, but it was 'Twenties Girl' by Sophie Kinsella that sparked my passion for reading and, funnily enough, at around the same time as you! I've re-read the book countless times; its spine is broken and the pages are yellowed, but it will forever be the most special book I own.
Which book could you never let go of? :)
'Baton takers' by Joseph Bimbo. Thanks @epeolatry
