When I was growing up I always enjoyed the fantasy stories to the regular ones. I loved magical and mystical things, I was enchanted. It took me a while to actually started reading (I actually had a hard time learning to read), but I do remember around 4th grade I started reading R.L. Stein's Ghost on Fear Street young adult series. Gradually through my own self exploration and recommendations from friends I would pick up fantasy books in the young adult section.
In 8th grade I picked up The Hobbit because we had to do this accelerated reading program, and my friend recommended it. From there my eldest brother, who's a fantasy geek, recommended that I read the Lord of the Rings series. From then on he would give me his old books that he had previously read. He has great taste in books, and I've never been disappointed. He really helped me get into those epic fantasy books. I eventually from that point went to branch out to other fantasy books on my own (like Harry Potter and fantasy romance).
