What first got you into the YW series?

[Lazy Leopard]

My first guess was that Peter Murray prompted me to read the first three back in 1998, but a bit of investigation has revealed that the first Wizardry book I read was in fact "Book of Night With Moon", which I read in early April, 1998. I think it was an SF book club choice. It gets mentioned in a fairly cryptic email (just listing the names of the humans in BoNWM) to Peter on 15th April 1998. I don't have a complete email archive so I can't tell quite where the conversation went from there, but then on 28th April I placed an order for the first four YW books with an internet bookshop...

I just though it sounded interesting from the back cover when i was at the library so i picked it up.

As always my sister got the first one but found it too hard to read and I was out of books.

here my story. Some of you heard it before. I was bored. I needed something to do. I convinced my Mom to take me to a library. I picked up about 10 books. I was going through the YA section. I found Holly Black's Tithe, which I had been wanting to read. A title with the word Wizard caught my Mom's eye. She pointed it out to me. I studied them closely. It was WD and AWAl. I picked AWAl. I was going to turn it in, but Mom had stationed me at home to stay with some chicken in the oven. I was bored so I turned on a local radio station and picked up a book. It was AWAl. I started reading it. I realized at the end it was the 6th in the series.

First of all, I'm new here, so: Dai, everybody! Here's my story: I got into the series about three years ago when I was looking around in the young adult section of a bookstore and found the Box of Wizardry. I remember thinking that the books looked really cool (I love almost all fantasy that's actually original), so I bought it. I don't think I had any how idea just how cool they would be. When I started SYWTBAW, I was totally blown away. I've been a hugely devoted fan ever since.

I told you this already ^_^

I was looking for something to buy at Barnes & Noble, and SYWTBAW caught my eye- it was at the bottom of the shelf, where I usually look. I saw that it was a series, so I bought the first four-up to AWAbroad. Then, 2 nights later, I was begging my mom to take me to Borders 5 minutes before it closed because I "would absolutely die if I don't get the rest of the series to read this week!"

I think it was when I was in fifth or sixth grade, which was 3 or 4 years ago now, cause I'm in ninth grade. I'm still reading A Wizard's Holiday because I don't have the eigth one yet but anyway. Yah, I'd never heard of the books or Diane Duane before, and all of a sudden my friend showed me the book. I read the first chapter of the first book at school and I was immediately attached, I could NOT put it down. So of course I just had to go over to the library and get myself a copy. I think a few weeks later I went with ym sister to Barnes and Noble and got up to the fifth one, hehe. Yah, i still love the books and I can't wait for more, yay!

Hmm...I was in the teens' section in Barnes & Noble, looking for something to read besides manga (as I was being chewed out for not reading "real" books), and this book caught my eye. I passed by it, newbishly thinking "Feh, another HP ripoff." I read the first few pages, and it caught me. I fell in LOVE with it. It's now my favorite book! And then I figured out this was made before HP.

I had always been facinated by magic and magic tricks. I have all harry potters and buy books like everyday magic tricks and Magic for dummies.when i saw it it was a must have for my collection.

[Geekazoid]

Simple for me the way i found most books i liked
I had nothing to read i went into my sister's room she suggested the books read them, loved them, now i have to get yelled at by my older sister just to read them again

[bduddy]

I found the first three... four? books in my middle school's library (the only good thing about that school), and tore right through them, as I did with most books (although I can't even remember what year I found them... Geez, my memory sucks!). Later, I found #4 and #5 at the public library, and read them. I later bought #6, but by the time I got around to reading it I had forgotten everything else that happened ()I promptly forgot that I even owned the book (yes, I really have issues...) Recently, I remembered, so I went back to the public library, rented #1-#5, read them, and then read #6; that's where I found this website, and I'm new here, and this is altogther much too long and rambling a first post, and hi, everyone!

(That horrible, terrible run-on probably won't stay around long in a forum run by an author.. Oh, well.)

Well, I did not just see the book in the BORDERS book store it was on the internet. I was just looking on amizon.com for good books and I over saw this one. Then a few weeks lator I saw The book in the store and I got it! ^_^

I was looking for something to read while i waited for the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when I saw SYWTBAW on the library shelf in the section titled "Books to read if you like Harry Potter" so I picked it up. The next day, I rode my bike over to the bookstore and spent all my money on the series (and I couldn't even afford AWAlone)!!!!
