I have always loved fantasy, however. My favorites fantasy books as a kid were The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede. I happened upon them at the library and loved the covers, so I thought I would give them a try. They're still one of my favorites. I've been re-reading them with my kids.

Of course, yo...I loved the Once & Future King! Of course, you both know by now what did it for me: Grimm's Fairy Tales. Yay, Grimm! <br /><br />I am really looking forward to reading Earthseed, and hope to see it on the big screen in the not-so-distant future. <br /><br />Thanks again, Pam. It's great to have you!Karin Rita Gastreichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788750258292938903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-84260418121667430962012-09-24T22:18:22.357-07:002012-09-24T22:18:22.357-07:00Thank you, Ms. Sargent, for your fantastic post! I...Thank you, Ms. Sargent, for your fantastic post! I enjoyed reading about your journey.<br /><br />It's funny, I think so many of our stories are similar: coming across that random sci-fi/ fantasy paperback by accident, then discovering whole new worlds. My story began with <i>Dragonsong</i> by Anne McCaffrey. I think it made it into my elementary school library by accident. After that, I read everything SFF I could find... which wasn't much.<br /><br />I envy my girls because they have access to so much excellent SFF, so many choices, and without the stigma that came along with being a fan when I was growing up. <br /><br />And I wish I'd come across your novels when I was a girl. :)<br /><br />Thanks!<br />~Kim Vandervortwriterknvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606954840446684938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-61197743738473183992012-09-24T14:42:34.401-07:002012-09-24T14:42:34.401-07:00It is truly an honor to have you here, Ms. Sargent...It is truly an honor to have you here, Ms. Sargent. I feel a little agog!<br /><br />My step into reading fantasy fiction was quite similar to yours into science fiction. I was not a--ahem--sophisticated reader when I first picked up The Once And Future King. I have been a voracious reader my whole life, but in my early teens, I devoured Harlequin romances, and didn't seem to mind that they were all the same story set in different locations. Ah-me. And then one day I was at the local library and noticed the nickle bin. Those were the books the library was getting rid of for a nickle (actually, a dime at that time, but it was always known as the nickle bin.) In with the romances was a blue, jacketless copy of The Once And Future King. I knew that The Sword in the Stone was in there someplace, and I did so love the Disney film. On a whim, I took it home.<br /><br />And the rest, as they say, is history. <br /><br />Thank you for being here!Terri-Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468004163467894720noreply@blogger.com
