so mmmmm, animorphs? box car children? everworld? goosebumps? nancy drew? amelia bedelia? eh? ehhhhh???

i liked the hobbit then.

boxcar children was certainly a favorite, along with animorphs.


furtherback, i remember some henrietta the hen books, some bernstein bears books, tonka books.

doctor seuss, was of course a staple.

and then in the later years there was harry potter and the 'so you want to be a wizard' series.

Out of that list, Nancy Drew and Goosebumps. Some others were, Sweet Valley High and The Babysitters Club.

I didn't mind the Hobbit in 4th grade, but I hated it when I had to read it in 7th. Honestly, how long do we need to spend walking through a forest? I never made it past the prolouge of the Fellowship

I loved Boxcar in 2nd grade. We had a huge classroom collection. I read most of Animorphs, then moved onto Everwold by the same author

I was never that fond of the Bernenstein bears. Never read the other 2, I don't think.

Ah, how does one live without Dr. Suess?

I started Harry Potter in 4th or 5th grade after James intorduced me, which was before they got popular. They got my introuble for reading during class most often, though I did all the time anyway. I only read the first of the So You Want to be a Wizards. I wasn't that fond of it. I own them though.

The first 2 His Dark Materials were good. They take a while to get into, so I never got into the last one enough to finish at all


Ohhh, yeah, I loved the Babysitters club too! Never cared for goosebumps. Wasn't scared, just thought they were lame. I read some Sweet Valley High, but not a whole lot. I like one of the random side series best

Oh yeah, I enjoyed reading Fear Street as well.

My brother read Boxcar, I think I tried to read one book and lost interest in that. I also never got into the whole Animorphs series even though did catch the show a couple of times on Nick.

okay dude, sweet valley pwns all. like jessica and elizabeth with their brother, steven? they were so badass.

i actually hated boxcar childen since they were always so moral, especially that damn violet.

Fav elemetary school books include The Boxcar Children, Dr Suess, Harry Potter, The Series of Unfrotunate Events, The Babysitters Club, the books about a babysitters club member little sister Karen.

I read Amelia Bedilia sometimes and wondered why she was so effin stupid.

The cover of the Goosbumps books kept me away.

Hmm, I really liked reading Animorphs hah. I also enjoyed Sweet Valley, the Babysitter's Club, Nancy Drew and the Fear Street books. I also liked the His Dark Materials trilogy.
I never really liked Goosebumps.

Encyclopedia brown!

And those Joey Pigza books were a real hoot.

^Oh yes, Encyclopedia Brown was entertaining as well.

I've never heard of these Fear Street things.

Series of Unfortunate Events was after my time.

Its was from the same author of Goosebumps but targeted towards teenagers and young adults. They were scary.

amelia bedelia! yes!

and goosebumps, ikinda liked those.

and encyclopedia brown... how could i forget!

encyclopedia brown was never a favorite

Amelia Bedelia was all I read in 1st grad.e Teacher had no faith in my ability to read chapter books. Damn James.

Omg..i just saw this thread. Wow. I'm a dork.

I loved the amelia bedlia! Those were great

Idk if ya'll have talked about them..but Boxcar children?

BEST BOOKS EVER!

When I was a kid..I mean..

goosebumps BORED me. yet, everybody loved it. i seemed to like that one book.. by louis shcar or something. It was about a school with 40 floor or whatever. it was confusing.

^ WAYSIDE STORY?!


I think it was something like that

Oh, in middle school I hated the Lois Duncan books, or something like that. They were suspense or whatever, but I thought they were lame

OHMYGOSHIREMEMBERTHOSE!!!!!!!!!!! (wayside story, I mean)

I LOVE WAYSIDE STORY1!!!!1111


Ok. That was my stupid moment of the day.

But those were hilarious.

I liked Holes too. But that came out a lot later i suppose.

Yeahhhhhhh, same!!! I borrowed my friend's copy of Holes and read it on the plane to Connecticut in 4th grade, soon after it came out

I bought it..and it was a paper back. It is sooo worn out. I've read it too many times.

I liked the movie too.

But to remain on the topic of books..

uhm.

I read Little House on the prarie for some weird reason.

I remember my teacher telling me it's a Texan Classic..

and come to find out they dont even go through texas.

lmao.

i read wayside story!

in 1st grade, i think.

i thought it was muchas funny.

YEAH, THAT'S IT, WAYSIDE!! MAN, it was so funny and stuff. :D tehehe.

HOLES WAS A GREAT BOOK. it's the first book that ever got me interested in reading it. they said it was for middle-schoolers though but i read it in 5th grade anywyas.

^ pfffttt. Our AR thing said that too. That book rocked.

I gotta get my little brother to check that out again and let me read it. Har har .

My reading level was always insanley broad and high (in 8th grade I went from 5.3 to college level) so I could really read whatever I wanted and no one gave a damn. After first grade, I rarely ever read a book in my grade level

I liked Little House too. And Dear Americas. Motsly anything historical fiction, and fantasy so long as it wasn't too lame

^ College books were teh funnest shtuff ever.

I felt bad..i've always been more advanced. People were mad at me..

Don't be hatin'...

Yesh.

Really? Mad at you why? I was always advaned, so I always made friends with people who were even further ahead than me. I did well, but the people ahead of me were always people I liked. Now I'm not ahead at all. I Do better than most in language arts, but suck in everything else right now

i liked the beverly cleary series [bezus and ramona], the amazing days of abby hayes, the magic tree house, amelia bedilia...

LMAO! English right now is the only core class i'm not failing.

But..they would just get mad. I'd always finish my work extremely early..and idk. They were jealous. har har.

I was like that for a lot of middle and elementary, and then I got to high school and died. My reading level has actually gone down a lot, too. At least my speed and comprehension. Now I'm fairly dumb. I'm failing my second favorite class (history) because of a couple stupid things, and I'm astoundingly bad at math.

We got grades back on some papers in language arts, and my friend and I begged for ours early. She got 92, I got 88, I thought I did ok, but that they were graded really easily. Turned out the rest of the class all failed. Most of them didn't even pass with the 10 AP points, so I felt good, because I had BSed that thing

THOSE ARE THE TWO CLASSES IM FAILING!

I'm only failing history cause I didn't know if I needed to write a whole essay on a "short answer" question. Seriously. And it was on a test. And..i was too stupid to ask.

nfudska;bfdafndsa

AP Points?

ahh, AR.

said i was college level in 6th grade.

wtf, i said.

i only started reading in like 1st grade... and i went from one line picture books to chapter books in a year.

Wow, this is so wierd!

I got a 68 (or 78...) on a test because I'd spent the weekend studying precal which I thought was more important because I'm worse at it, and then I failed the pop quiz that was supposed to help our grades because I got a day behind on taking my notes. dskhkhsedkthjlik. He hasn't graded any essays yet. Those might help me...

Yeah, I hate how every teacher requires different things for different types of questions. I have essay and multiple choice tests separately now, since it's preparation for AP

Because I'm taking AP language and US history, I get 10 points added onto my grade in those classes

Justin, I think I was 12+ in 6th grade too. I started reading early though. Not like my sister who's in second and can't read worth shit

This IS starting to creep me out a bit.

Holy crap. I spent the night before my history test studying for my geometry...

oh.my.gosh.

I'm officially freaked out.

I got a 63...

BOX CAR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gee golly wiz, I forgot all about them. Oooohhhhh. I miss the second grade. My teacher would read to us. ]: FUDGEpop @&%$*!.
I want to reeeeeaaaaaaad those again. This is making me super hyper. Ahh, sweet reminiscing. (Is that a word? Oh, screw it. You know what I mean.)

^ lol isn't this thread great?

I'm procastinating...

I really need to read for history. So i dont fail another test..

But still. BOXCAR CHILDREN!

Im proud to say that I own the whole set. Bought them as a kid, and never regreted it.

I love...oh..I think it's called Mystery ranch? Ah it's purple.

HOLY SHIT!

this is getting to be one freaky connection. I'm trying to study for a history test too!!

I never bought the Boxcar Children books, and sadly my sisters have no taste and never read them. Or anything good, for that matter. They really are stupid.

I don't remember what I got on that precal test, I'm thinking 62

well i'm doing my physics lab.

Oh. My. God. I'm SOO freaked out right now.

Psshh those books were awesome.

This is starting to scare me.

When the heck am i ever going to know about buddhism and hinduism? It's just...fidusanf;d


they're quite confusing.

[ no offense to anyone who is one of those religions. i'm an american and dont understand things..so..justcha letcha know ]

Oh hell, I have to finish one of those too. Physics was really easy thus far, but I don't know what's going on with these distance and velocity graph things. It seems like you're basically just plotting points and stating the obvious.

It really is scary !

What history are you taking? I was actually pretty good with religions and stuff last year in world, but now that I'm in American, everything is boring and I don't care. Plus, I like my oold teacher's teaching style better. If only I'd taken pre-IB and could have taken History of the Americas with him...

Hm, I haven't done my math homework yet either. I really don't understand why we have to take 6 week tests.

Wait..you're in england right? what time is it there?

or..if i'm wrong..just ignore that.

But fidsafd..i just need to re-read the chapter..take some notes, memory notes, over it..and then..just...hope i dont forget it.

I'm missing prisonbreak too..damn..oh well im taping it.

I liked Goosebumps

^ lmao thank you for the randomness.

Nope, James (racoons > you) is in England. I'm in Georgia.

I need to reread 8 chapters...by Wednesday. Because, of course we can;t just test on the new stuff. Oh no, because it's a 6 week test it has to incluse the other 5 chapters as well So much bullshit. I want to go back to wooooooooorld history *whines*

I missed Arrested Development. I was going to record it, but then I figured I could just watch. Then I didn't remember it till half an hour too late, just like my friend's birthday party at the Cheesecake Factory this afternoon that I'm very annoyed I missed. I've never ridden in a limo before...Dammit

CHEESECAKE!

Wow that stuff is great.

I thought you were in England too. oops.

but hfdiod;sanfd i hate homework. I am SO going to watch CSI: Miami..lie to my parents and say i read it..but really i'm just going to stay up and do it.
Besides. I can blame it on the coke.

God...i'm not really a bad kid..I just..wanna watch csi. Is that such a crime?

[ arrested development = hilarious. everytime they play this commercial talking about tom cruise, i crack up laughing. ]

well, i'm in Ap physics so this is a force lab and i have to calculate the acceleration of various masses on an air track...

yea...

not that much fun.

We're not allowed to take AP physics till we take normal. Tis dumb. I wouldn't anyway, though.

I've never seen arrested development..I har it's funny though. My SNL fan friends love it because Amy Poehler's husband is in it

I've never been to the Cheescake Factory...or been in a limo before I'm so mad that I have such an awful memory

Eh, I've been online all day instead of studying. I never sleep.

I WANT TO FINISH CATCH-22!!!!!!!!!!!!

The babysitters club it the shit! lol Junnie B Jones. "My name is Junie B Jones. The B stands for beatrice but i dont like betrice. Just B thats all"

she was kinda annoying but its all good.

Wow. History. Religions. That was a piece of cake.

[trying to make this topic more alive...]

Ok. I remembered one series..and i swear...this is going to make you laugh.

It was Hank the Cow Dog. I was such a dork.

But they were good...
