grins My dad gave them moneys... We watched the trailers... I bought 1 & 2 at the local bookstore and FELL IN LOVE. I read those 2 appr. 300000 times over the next two months until I got 3 & 4 for my birthday!!
I found it through the Angel app. I saw the first episode a while ago and then forgot about it. Came back around a year later and instantly fell in love, bought the books not long after.
My cousin, actually! She’s one of my best friends, and I watched her read this children’s series and cry over it, and actually spoiled the ending for me😳
I wasn’t really going to read it until one of my good friends in college suggested it to me, and I thought to myself: “Okay, if a teenager and adult can love a children’s series, it’s gotta be good.” So I went to my nearest bookstore, found the full hardcover box set, bought it, and came home to binge-read.
My favorite author posted about it on Facebook when the new hardcover edition of book one was on sale for $5 on Amazon! She said it was a really good series, and it looked really good, too, and it was a really good deal... but $5 was still a lot of money at the time and I didn't feel like I could spend that much on a book I didn't even know if I liked yet... (silly me!) I eventually decided that I should buy it because it looked amazing, but by the time I made that decision, the book had gone back up to full price. So I didn't buy it.
Then later that year my brother asked me what my kids wanted for Christmas. So of course I told him that my daughter would love to get the new book that I wanted to read! 😂 So he got it for her and I started looking through it that night - before my daughter got to read it. She asked me to please not read the whole thing before she did and I said of course I wouldn't; I'd only read a little bit before bed. And then I accidentally read the whole thing before bed. Oops.
To make it up to her, I promised her that I wouldn't read the rest of the series before her. But now I had to know what happened, so I borrowed the audiobooks from the library. In this case, I decided that listening did not equal reading. 😏 (fun side note: I got on the still-somewhat-short waiting list for the whole series, and each book came available within a day or so of me finishing the last one - amazing timing! And ever since then they've had a waiting list of months.)
So I listened to the whole series, found out it was absolutely amazing, bought each book as I had the funds, and read them aloud to my daughter and then later to my boys so I could see their reactions to the story as they heard it for the first time (and because my boys were honestly probably too young for some of the scary bits, but I couldn't hold my enthusiasm for the books in so I had to read it to them and then I got to talk about it with them as we went through), and then I bought the audiobooks, and then made all my friends read them and give me their reactions (most of the families in our church are fans now), and then I invested in the show, and then I scoured Ebay for first editions, and then I made sure my kids got Wingfeather merch for every birthday and Christmas, and then I started annoying random people on the internet to get them to read the books so I could read their reactions (cough, couch, @Janna The Heart), and then I started telling random strangers at various kids ministry events I went to about it, and, and, and...
My sister (Wren) got me into them. 'Course the first to words of it I read were: Tooooooooooothy cow! I began the second one (Not on purpose!) then nearly immediatley put it down. My younger sister and brother were the next target of wingfeather madness. Mwahahaha. Then their friends. Then their friends friends. Then their friends friends friends. Bun fooks, fun books!
I saw it in a catalog that came in the mail from a local Christian bookstore (unfortunately it's not around anymore) and thought it looked interesting. Soon after, my grandma surprised me with a trip to the bookstore and bought the first book for me! I devoured it and got the second one for my birthday, then ordered the others myself.
My mom got Angel Studios so she could watch The Chosen and then my siblings and I found WFS. Then I got the first two books for my birthday and the last two for Christmas.
my dad was reading it and I walked in and sat down. He read the the part at Anklejelly (1st) and then I had to go to bed. I was reading Narnia at the time, but then I finished Narnia and started reading Wingfeather

I had to choose a book out of a couple as a prize. I chose the wing feather book because I liked the cover.

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I had heard about it online, and then my best friend suggested that I watch the show, and I've loved it ever since
I really craved a fantasy book that wasn’t full of junk and was Christian and my mom found the series rest is history
my dad was reading it and I walked in and sat down. He read the the part at Anklejelly (1st) and then I had to go to bed. I was reading Narnia at the time, but then I finished Narnia and started reading Wingfeather
My mom read the first two chapters aloud to me, then (as usually happened when she did this) I stole the book and read the rest of it.
S.D. Smith posted the short film on on his email list. Then we listened to the books as a family.
I discovered their pilot episode on YouTube and had to know more. I'm not a big reader but I couldn't just be left on a cliffhanger
A really persistent friend.
