#booktubeathon Day 1: The book that got me into reading was The False Prince which I am currently re-reading for the first time since I read it. Back in 2013 I picked this up at a school book sale, I’m so glad I did because I love it and it made reading a part of my life. Before 2013 I didn’t read at all, my mom took me to the library all the time as a kid but I never bothered to read chapter books or Harry Potter. #btatfirst #books #jenniferaneilsen #bookphotography

Here’s my photo for today’s #booktubeathon Instagram challenge! Ronald Dahl’s books got me into reading as a kid. Fantastic mr Fox is the first one I read... and you can tell it was read many many many many many times 😅 #btatfirst . . #books #bookstagram #bookworm #roalddahl #booksandflowers

I don't have a physical copy anymore, but I LOVED Charlotte's Web as a child and it gave me my first book hangover. It was Some Book. (See what I did there?) #btatfirst

It's that time of year again! Here's my entry for the very first Instagram challenge of the 2018 booktubeathon! Today's challenge is to take a picture of the book that first got you into reading and I decided to take it a little further and include some of the books that have shaped my life as a reader. I never realized how incredibly hard it is to ballence books on your head... • • • • • #btatfirst #booktubeathon #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booktube #booktuber #btat #btat2018 #booktubeathon2018 #bookworm #booknerd #amreading #booklover #reading #whenyoureachme #illuminae #anemberintheashes #harrypotter #gobletoffire #harrypotterandthegobletoffire #rebeccastead #jkrowling #jaykristoff #amiekaufman #amiekaufmanandjaykristoff

Happy Monday! Today is the first day of the #booktubeathon and I’m so excited to participate! I’m still recovering from jet lag so I didn’t manage to take pictures today, but I plan on taking them tomorrow. . . Today’s instagram challenge was to take a picture of the book that first got you into reading. There are so many books that kickstarted me into being the avid reader that I am today. The book that I remember that first got me into reading was the first #BoxcarChildren book. I still absolutely adore the story. I actually passed on my copy to my baby sister ♥️ Some other favorites are: ✨Fairest by Gail Carson Levine ~ oh my gosh I’ve read this book SO MANY times. Probably over 20. It’s so good! ✨ Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson - this was the first series that I accidentally read out of order. The first 2 books are my favorites ♥️ ✨Inkheart by Cornelia Funke ~ another favorite. I’ve read this series so many times. Specifically I’ve reread Inkheart SOOO many times. I’d love to do a reread eventually. ✨Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins ~ the books that continued to entertain me as I grew out of the middle grade genre. . . {swipe} Back in grade school, my twin sister had cancer. When she couldn’t come to school I was really lost but I was happy when I was able to travel to other worlds through reading. We loved to share our books and read them together. In the second picture, my grandpa is reading to Sarah and I one of my previous favorites: An American Girl short story from the perspective of Molly (my fave). I remember when he read this to us. Sarah was ill on the couch and I sat in his lap and we just listened to him read it out loud to us. We miss him a lot but he instilled a love of literature in us that will never fade away. ♥️ . . {#btatfirst #btat #btat2018 #inkheart #peterandthestarcatchers #gailcarsonlevine #fairest #gregortheoverlander #suzannecollins #boxcarchildren #gertrudechandlerwarner #kidlit #bookstagram #bookblog #bookblogger #blog #blogger #booktube #bookvlog #bookvlogger #booknerd #reading #currentlyreading #ellaenchanted}

BookTubeAThon is officially here! I’ll be doing the Instagram challenges this week, and today’s challenge is to post a picture of the book that first got you into reading. While Harry Potter got me into books overall, reading American Girl books in elementary school REALLY got me into reading! Did you ever read any of these? #btatfirst #booktube #bookstagram #booktubeathon #americangirlbooks

Challenge Day 1: the book that first got you into reading! Can’t lie, it was the Twilight saga that got me properly obsessed with books. Yes, I was one of those preteens that fell head over heals for this romance story involving vampires and werewolves #booktubeathon #booktubeathon2018 #btat #bookstagram #btatfirst ps lowkey made my sister hunt through my books and take some pics since I currently don’t have these books on me (I also apparently don’t even own the first book Twilight?)

BookTubeAThon Challenge Day 1: The Book the first got me into reading! 📚 I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I don’t know know if this is *the one* that got me into reading, but I do know that I have been hooked on Anne of Green Gables since I read page one. And that now includes all its various iterations. 📚 #bookstagram #booktubeathon2018 #btatfirst #anneofgreengables #lmmontgomery https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl4CFCHAgoq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7yfiaunn1u2v
