I like video games, cartoons, and reading 私はビデオゲームとアニメと読書が好きです。 または、私はビデオゲームとアニメ、そして読書が好きです。 または、私はビデオゲームが好きで、アニメが好きで、それから読書が好きです。 and=”そして”、”verb+て/で”、”それから”、”と” です。

Kuro's right. But one thing to point out. You don't have to use わたし(私). This is something anyone would understand from the context, and it sounds more unnatural when one uses わたし to talk about oneself. That's the big difference compared to English. So, it would be ビデオゲームと読書が好きです。 If you use the Genki book, you might see the direct translation of " I " into " わたし”. However, this is not used practically.
