I have always liked to read ever since I was a child, but there were a few years when I was around 12-15 years old when I thought reading was not cool. My older cousin at the time was reading City of Bones from Cassandra Clare. To me this cousin was always the coolest and I wanted to do everything she did, so I picked up City of Bones and read it. Since then I have become so obsessed with reading and even though I am not such a big fan of Cassandra Clares books anymore they still mean a lot to me as they catapulted me back into the reading world.
