Reading through the memories thread I can't believe how many of us have similar pasts and which books were the ones that set us all on the path to be book addicts.

I've got a "sacred" cupboard in our spare room filled with a lot of my childhood books including a complete set of Trixie Beldons. When we were renovating and my husband dared to suggest I cull my books - this is was instigated the inclusion of the sacred cupboard - interfere at your own peril!

Now that I'm older, I don't re-read books very often. There are just too many books out there. But 4 years ago my mom told me to read Written in Red. And every year since then, in March, I have re-read all the books as the new one comes out. They are my new favorite series!

And the funny thing these reading competitions transform me from one into the other, yes a quiet, reasonable person into a competitive animal, LOL.

Hey Muppets, we are currently in third place. Woo Hoo. Go us!

Well done everyone. I'll have my memory book finished tomorrow or the next day (Tuesday) at the latest.

Hello from Team Muppets.



It is a non-fiction book and also linked to a Harry Potter memory - The Grand Bazaar reminds me of a Turkish Diagon Alley and some of the palace interiors look like the inside of Hogwarts aka Alnwick Castle.

Oh goody.. I'll post it to their thread then.

Could this work for a Wizard of Oz Memory - it is a non -fiction book? Or how about a link to Harry Potter - the Grand Bazaar reminds me of a Turkish Diagon Alley? And a few of the palaces resemble the rooms of Hogwarts aka Alnwick Castle.


"My reading progression through the years: Harry Potter, Children's/YA Fantasy, Harry Potter, Adult Fantasy, HP, Fiction, Classics, HP, non-fiction, romance, HP, HP, etc. "

The characters in the new series were in the last book of the Mortal Instruments as children. I'm thinking the incidents in that (view spoiler)[ Sebastian killing Emma's parents and kidnapping Mark (hide spoiler)] will directly impact the new series and they are now 16-18 years old.

I always think it is better to have read the previous series as it gives a lot more depth and understanding of the story. But that's just me... lots of people can jump all over the place and not read in order and the sky doesn't fall in. (Grin)

Sally, if you did Sponge Bob (?) I think only Wizard of Oz is left.

Team Peanuts Memory Lord of Scoundrels (Scoundrels, #3) by Loretta Chase

My mom is fond of romance novels and at age 14-15 I was so curious about the books she read, but wouldn't let me read. So finally one day I got my hands on one of those books and started reading in secret...I've been in love with romance books ever since! (needless to say my mom was a bit frustrated when she caught me reading her books, but she realized it was hopeless to keep me away:P)

Classic historical romance. ♥
