What books did you read in your childhood that you always can go back to and reread over and over again? Books that you remember borrowing from the library and running back home to read? Ones you wrote book reports on and made dioramas and board games for?
I just picked up Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine again. Still an amazing and wonderful book. The romance in that is completely more believable and better written than Bella/Edward in Twilight. I also can always get wrapped up by Roald Dahl's books. Harry Potter is kinda childhood considering I really did grow up with Harry as the books came out. |

Harry Potter, Gossip Girl (although they're not really childhood books but I read them a LONG time ago), Princess Diaries, those Postman pop-up books, Berenstain Bears, Archie comics (does that count?)...and more. I read a lot when I was a kid.

^ OMG you couldn't put a gun to my head and make me read Hatchet for a second time. I wanted to gouge my eyes out the entire time I was reading it. It didn't help that it was the FIFTH survival-themed book we had read that year.

I cannot understand how this guy can write so many books about the same character surviving in the wilderness; there are only so many things you events you can write about without repeating yourself!!!!!! |

I didn't cry when Lee (I think that's the aeronaut) and his daemon die, but I definitely thought it was sad. The members above me listed pretty much all the books I read as a kid that I can still reread and not tire of, aside from Gary Paulsen's books. I never had to read The Hatchet in elementary or middle school, and from the sound of it, I should be glad. Oh, Walk Two Moons and the Sisterhood the Traveling Pants books are also good. |
