Bree Hill originally created this tag as the Get to Know the Romance Reader Tag, and The Book Pusher adapted it for fantasy readers. This looks like a really fun way to chat about fantasy books! What is your fantasy origin story? (the first fantasy novel you read) The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis! My dad had a paperback set of all the books, and I devoured them when I was younger. They were so wonderful and absorbing, I wanted to travel to Narnia too! If you could be the hero/heroine in a fantasy novel,…
