Hi, fellow bloggers, and welcome to day six of BookBlogWriMo 😀 Today’s discussion is one I’ve posted about quite a few times, and it’s about favorite childhood books. But, hopefully I can add in a few more fresh ones to the mix.
Here are just a few of my favorite childhood books. Starting from the top are the books I liked when I was really small, and as my little book pyramid progresses, I have some of the books I enjoyed as I got older.
At the top I have If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff. According to the inside of this book, it was given to me as a Christmas present in 2004. I recently saw a parody of this book at Barnes & Noble called If You Give a Mouse an iPhone by Ann Droyd, which I thought was hilarious.
Next I have Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. I have no idea if I ever read this book through and through, but I remember that as a kid I really loved the middle of the book, which had cool pictures of seagulls in the middle with a strange paper that I thought was cool.
Next I have Miss Mary Mack by Mary Ann Hoberman, and I loved this book! I might just reread it again tonight XD
On the next level of my little book pyramid, I have some of the Mary-Kate and Ashley books, which I used to get a store that sold used books. I remember really loving these books and I reread them all the time. I think my first one was the one where they went to summer camp… I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s somewhere in my room.
As I got older, I took interest in Ann M. Martin’s books, especially her Baby-Sitters Club and Baby-Sitter’s Little Sister series. I also loved Goosebumps, but I unfortunately don’t own a single book from that series, since I read them all from school.
Around this time I also took it upon myself to start reading a book called How To Say It by Rosalie Maggio, which was basically a book that taught you how to write different types of letters. I really enjoyed this book for some reason. I also liked flipping through these old etiquette books we had when I was a kid, just because xD
When I was younger, my reading was definitely all over the place, from etiquette books to Mary-Kate and Ashley books! What did you read when you were a kid?

My favorite books growing up were …Or do they books. For example Vampires don’t wear polka dots…or do they 🙂
I also read The babysitters club, till I could read one in a day, and Goosebumps, till I could guess the ending. Perhaps the weirdest books I read, before highschool, were by Anne Rice who is most definitely not classified as YA.

I’m pretty sure I’ve not read anything Anne Rice, or any Or do they books! That’s interesting! I pretty much reread Goosebumps and The Babysitters Club over and over. Good times 😀

Anne Rice is a must if you like paranormal (vampire, witch, body thefts, etc) fiction.

As you’ve probably seen from my post, I was far too blinded by any books to do with animals to read anything else when I was a kid! LOL!
I have a friend that loved the Babysitter’s Club though.
Goosebumps was ace! Although the covers used to scare me.. :s
