So this week's topic is supposed to be 'Books That Make Me Happy/Smile', and this topic feels too similar to favorite books to me. So, I'm going to do a different topic.
These are some of the earliest (chapter) books I can remember reading. Most of these books were read somewhere between 3rd and 7th grade. I don't remember exactly when I read most of them as everything before age 12 kind of blurs together for me at this point in my life.
_______
I used to have a boxset of the whole series, not sure what happened to it though. I don't even remember if I read all of them, I know I read at least half.
-----
I remember nothing that happened in this book, only that 3rd grade me loved it.
----
When I say I was obsessed with this series, I mean obsessed. I probably read at least half the series, I watched the early 90's TV show, I watched the 1995 movie. At some point around 6th or so, I felt like I "too old" to read the books, probably because none of my friends I had at the time were readers, nor had read the series and I succumbed to the peer pressure to stop reading "childish" books.
-----
I read these out of order because I got them from the school library and I don't think they had all the books, there are about 30 books total. I don't even know if I read the first book, but I do remember reading this one. My goal is to buy the whole Nancy Drew series and read them.
-----
This was one of the first books I read for school. We read it as a class, or closer to the teacher read it to us as we followed along in our own books. But I was hooked to this story.
-----
Another book we read as a class in I, think 3rd grade. This was the first time I realized a book could destroy you.
-----
I read this in middle school, around 7th grade. Then I read every Fear Street book my school's library had. I could never get into the Goosebumps books though.
-----
This book got be back into reading. I read this in high school. After years of required reading, I hadn't fully enjoyed reading until I read this during my freshman year of high school. I tried re-reading it last year, but I wasn't in the headspace to so I didn't really enjoy it, I might try again though after things settle a bit for me.
The entire Little House series was lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
It's nice to see Little House and BSC on your list! They made me smile.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT list this week.
That's a magical age for reading, I think. I know I read some of the Little House books around that time too. Those covers are still very nostalgic for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the Nancy Drew books too. that sounds like a fun project. I read a few of the Hardy Boys books a few years ago for the blog and it was fun! I bet Nancy Drew would be as well.
