Hey guys!
Today I want to share some of the books from my childhood. I saw this idea a couple weeks ago and thought it was really fun! These are from ages 4 to mid-teens.
I've always loved stories, and my mom read to me quite often as a child. I really struggled with reading and couldn't decipher anything more than the bare basics (
fat cat on a mat type things would leave me in tears of frustration) until around 11 years old. Then my mom got me my first audiobook, and within a few months, everything clicked and I could read anything and everything with ease. It opened up a beautiful world!

| This is one of the first books I remember my mom reading. I loved this edition for the illustrations, and the fact that the book belonged to my great grandma. |
 |
| Being read this book is actually my first really clear memory. |
 |
| The start of the audiobook love. |
 |
| My aunt and I are only four years apart, and anytime I stayed over we'd read these books. |
 |
| One of the first books I read after figuring out how to read. |
 |
| As godawful as this book and series is, I owe so much to it. It's what really, really sparked my love of independent reading, romance, and the obsession that comes with an addictive series. |
What about you? What books did you enjoy as a kid?

Great post!! I used to love reading Fear Street by RL Stine, Sweet Valley High, and The Babysitter's Club. Then Twilight really got me back into reading later on in life. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! I owe Twilight so much too!
ReplyDelete:) I remember reading the Harry Potter book in middle school. Brings back good memories
ReplyDeleteI read almost anything as a kid. My parents steered me away from adult themes, but didn't forbid it. I was more into kid fantasy anyway. So anything to do with that I devoured. :) Good list here. Totally would say HP but I was an adult when I read it. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I read the Harry Potter books as a kid - right when it came out so I was about 7 I guess? I loved reading already, but these soon became a fast favorite. I read MOST of the Sisterhood books; those were great.
