Since it doesn't seem to be taking off in moderator performance, and the only one got closed, we shall discuss here (even though it's less fun being official)

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

[sadolakced acid]

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.

[*mzkandi*]

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

[*tweeak*]

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

[*mzkandi*]

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.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

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.

[Joss-eh-lime]

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.

[silver-rain]

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.

[jennyjenny]

Encyclopedia brown!

And those Joey Pigza books were a real hoot.

[silver-rain]

^Oh yes, Encyclopedia Brown was entertaining as well.

[*tweeak*]

I've never heard of these Fear Street things.

Series of Unfortunate Events was after my time.

[*mzkandi*]

I've never heard of these Fear Street things.

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

[sadolakced acid]

amelia bedelia! yes!

and goosebumps, ikinda liked those.

and encyclopedia brown... how could i forget!

[*tweeak*]

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.

[technicolour]

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..

[lovescream]

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.

[technicolour]

^ WAYSIDE STORY?!


I think it was something like that

[*tweeak*]

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)

[technicolour]

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.

[*tweeak*]

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

[technicolour]

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.

[sadolakced acid]

i read wayside story!

in 1st grade, i think.

i thought it was muchas funny.

[lovescream]

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.

[technicolour]

^ 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 .

[*tweeak*]

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
