So Day 1
My very first genre novel is definitely The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. My dad read it to me when I was a very young girl - a beautiful hardback version he borrowed from the library. I was allowed just one chapter a night before bed, tucked on his lap, and marvelling at the thought of other worlds, magical creatures and evil witches.
My first genre novel was volume 1 of Chronicles: Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
ReplyDeleteA friend had been teaching me how to play dungeons and dragons and lent me the trilogy to read and I pretty much got hooked from then on.
Psst, the blog name's "Bibliotropic" now. :p
ReplyDeleteIt's really sweet to think that your intro to the world of genre was at so young an age! I love it.
My first genre novel was 'Brother night.' It is the story of two very different half-brothers and their destiny. brings back very fond memories that i havent thought about in years.I was in year 4 at school and I stole the book so i could keep it and mum made me return it. classic!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great memory of your first fantasy book. Very sweet indeed!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd do this meme also. My Day 1 is up over at my blog: http://eruditeogre.blogspot.com/2011/04/over-at-blog-bibliotropic-ria-discusses.html.
